Mmm....don't think so. The first CDs appeared in stores around 1988 or '89. Hand held calculators had already been around for twenty years or more by that time, and were far reduced in cost from what they were originally. They were even cheap, as a matter of fact.
Nowadays, adjusted for inflation, the Bowmar's price would buy four gigabytes, lots of functions, more computing power than existed in the world, and (soon) a retina display.
