Texas Instruments was naming some of their calculators
"SR" (for Slide
Rule) up until the mid-80's, at least. My first one was the SR-10...the LED
"wedge". $110, IIRC....Was that TI's first?
So my father thought, at least, when he bought the first one he saw, for
$140. My mother was appalled.
(He also bought TI's first, maybe the first-in-the-US, LED digital clock,
the TI-71. I don't remember how much that was, and suspect he never let
on, but it's here now, still keeping fine time.)
