Brain rot again.  The Ti SR-10 was introduced in Nov 1972.  I
graduated from college (Cal Poly Pomona) in June 1971.  Obviously, I
couldn't have had that calculator while still in college.  Yet, 54
years later, that's the way I remember it.

Same as the HP-35.  Please ignore my comments about the SR-10 until I
have some time to untangle the mess.  Again, sorry about the
confusion.

You may be vaguely interested in this company:

Nice products.  I've played with a few of them owned by acquaintances.
Good display and some useful added features.  I wish it had a
backlighted display.  However, they're too expensive for my minimal
use.

Replica HP calculators. They seem to have a good reputation.

I'm not sure if they're a replica, clone, compatible device, or
work-alike.  I haven't read the reviews, but what little I've skimmed,
it seems like a well built product.

I'm doing well with my HP48G, thank you. But I still miss my HP11C that
was stolen while I worked at a little company with bad security.

I'll look in my collection and see if I have an HP11C.  Offhand, I
don't think so.  There are some on eBay.  The one's that offer the
least risk and are likely to work are $75 and up.
