First scientific calculator, instantly puts the slide rule in retirement.
It was very pricey, but for the technical peoples it was a game changer and they bought it like crazy.

Small nitpick/ignorant question: wouldn't the 35 be the first pocket/portable scientific calculator?

As far as I know the first electronic calculator that was not a mainframe was a wang something (Loci 2 ?), then another series (wang 300 ?) then came hp with the 9100 and it was the end of large profits for wang.

So actually people should have been used to the HP way since some years due to the 9100 (and successors) series, or not?
