That's because you're Old Skool.  I think it is a 48g:

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.
