I am not fond of it (I prefer the older HP-33S), but it surely will fit your needs. I guess you won't need a WP-34S, unless you want to play with it. In this case, I can part with one of mine (I bought two units from Erich a few months ago, one of which hasn't been used yet), for the same price I paid for it then, excluding the aforementioned taxes, that is, for US$ 70.00 plus shipping (R$ 210,00 plus shipping from Curitiba to your city). The firmware version is 3.3T.3645 (Unfortunately I cannot update the firmware because my cable is not working anymore). I strongly advise you to try the emulator first. PM me if you're interested.

Gerson, thanks for the quick response. As for the 34s, what sort of cable/cord do people use to update the machine? and yes, my intention is to have a fun calculator to play with. I installed both emulators (35s and 34s) and started reading the manuals. Can't comment just yet. Will decide later if I should buy it or not.

THanks.

I can't find a picture right now. Anyway, it appears these cables aren't available anymore. But there are at least two solutions around, one by Katie and another by Harald:
