Garrett 2020 Space Helmet - a blast from the past into the future year of 2020?
One local auction site is advertizing this amazing Garrett model 2020 "space helmet" RPN calculator from 1975.
A quick Internet search reveals how pricey (and probable rare) they are now.

Was Garrett predicting that by year 2020 the trend on calculators would be RPN and offered inside spherical enclosures to better resist the outer space environment where half of the human population would be living by then?
