Calculators. I promised myself the first one in UK under £ 20. 1973. Red LED display, so the flight bag was full of spare batteries. Reverse Polish Notation, which I never understood, but it meant you had to really work out how you were going to enter a calculation before you did so. Four functions and a constant. What is £ 20 then in today's money, and what would you get for it?
