I'm guessing you probably had a slide rule as well. I did — although I never
really used it. I think we were luckier, we actually did things outside.
I do remember when relatively inexpensive portable calculators first came to
Value-Mart in the early 70s. Of course I had to get one. That's when they
still used LEDs instead of LCDs — and sometimes even different colored LEDs,
like blue or green instead of red.
