My mom bought one to keep the books for an old-fashioned drive-in the family owned.

Just the basics with big keys. Probably paid hundreds for it.
About 1975.

No way that was allowed in school. All pupils had to show their work.

I bought a scientific calculator in 1974 for less than $100.

In 1975 I bought a HP programmable scientific calculator with card reader for $195.
