I gave up and bought a Ti SR-10, which was a mistake:

I eventually obtained an HP-35 just in time to have the administration
temporarily ban the use of calculators during exams. 

Something is wrong with my dates.  The HP-35 was introduced in Feb
1972.  I graduated from college in June 1971.  I attended a few months
of teacher prep classes in late 1971, but don't recall having or
needing an HP-35 calculator during that time.  There is no possible
way I could have owned an HP-35 before it was offered for sale in Feb
1972.

It seems that I did something wrong, mangled my dates, faulty memory,
etc.  That's not surprising for something that happened 54 years ago.
The problem is I don't know where I made the mistake.  I still have
both the SR-10 and HP-35 calculators and boxes.  I'll see if there are
some dates on the paperwork in the boxes.  Meanwhile, please ignore my
comments related to the HP-35.

Sorry for the confusion.
