The one next to it sure doesn't look like an HP calculator...
That's because you're Old Skool. I think it is a 48g: http://calculators.torensma.net/index.php?page.id=16&calculator.id=322&action=detail&; The picture in the article seems to suffer from astigmatism.Collecting old (not the graphing) HP calculators is another weakness of mine. A mint Hp-65 with working card reader is my show-off item, as well as an HP-71B with Forth module. I did, however, just buy a new HP-35s for some unknown reason.
Jay Walker does have a most admirable library.
