My mother had purchased on of those back in the 1960's when she was studing to become an accountant. She told me once that it cost her several hundred dollars (1960's dollars) to purchase (I dont remember the exact amount). Consider that you could have gotten a new car for $2000-3000 and a new 1965 Ford Mustang cost $3334!

The batteries did not last long at all.
There was a lot of resistance at Universities to the calculators.
But all in all the adoption came especially when people realized that calculators might be more than a useful tool not only for university but in every day use - balancing your check book and figuring out a mortgage for your home or cottage.
