My dad had one of those in '72-ish.  IIRC he paid just under $400 for it.

It was a complete game-changer. His business sold cotton farming implements, and Dad said that the ability to calculate the bottom line without having to go to a desk almost doubled his new-customer sales.

We talk a lot about the technical aspects and advantages of gear like this, but I think it's difficult to remember just how much effect mobilization had in everyday life.


Also IIRC, year or so later a TI calculator with more functions, more digits, and twice the battery life cost about $100
