RE: The death of calculator market?
You bring up an important and oft-neglected point: inflation. Those who talk about their classic calculators maintaining or exceeding their original selling price are off by a factor of 7 or more.

In inflation-adjusted figures, the cost of an HP-97 in 1976 would buy you a high-end laptop and a high resolution inkjet printer today.
