In about the mid-70s, electronic calculators went from something that was $100 for a very basic maybe 5 function calculator (and hundreds of dollars for an RPN HP) to maybe $100 for a functional TI scientific calculator in about a year. And that's mid-70s dollars. I got a discontinued HP maybe a couple years later for about the same amount of money.
