By the inflation calculator that's dead on the money though: https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1960?amount=1
> $1 in 1960 is worth $10.95 today
$20 * 10 = $200

I thought that computers were supposed to get cheaper over time?
The first Raspberry Pi was not released in 1960.
Huh I read minicomputer and assumed we were talking about the first home computers, which that was about their epoch. (TBF I don't think any were ever $20 so that's on me).
Although if you go from the Pi 1 in 2012 at $35 at launch, it would be about $50 today.

The minicomputers of the 1960s were only "mini" compared to earlier mainframes; they were still far too large and expensive for home users to even consider. Home computers didn't really come about until the late 1970s.
