No wonder people are looking for alternative brands to US products and switching off to events over there.

When Hewlett Packard still made their excellent pocket calculators in Corvallis, Oregon, the price of a decent scientific (the 15c) in 1981 was $135, equivalent in purchasing power to about $470 today. I have a 15c, it's a brilliant machine, but who would want to pay almost $500 for a pocket calculator made in the US?
