james, if you had only put that $100 into TI stock in '74 it would now be worth $162,000.

James, there are still $100 calculators. They do a lot more than just add and subtract, though, and I'd bet the margins are huge. Not a huge market, though, I guess. I'd say a lot depends on just how much people need coming innovations in computers, what the implications are of networking, etc.
