Disruptive Technology: 1972
Pickett N600-T > Hewlett-Packard HP-35
Hewlett-Packard HP-35 calculator. $400. Introduced about April of 1972. Over 10x the price of a slide rule. HP Marketing forecast first year sales at 10K. Actually sold 100K. Pickett went out of business two yrs later. I bought one in 1973.
This is my slide rule from high school, 1963.
