    I've still got my first calculator, a Jeppesen model CR-3 computer. I did buy a TI 2500 when they first came out, 1972. To derive a square root a series of division operations had to be performed to extrapolate the answer. I showed an old guy co-worker how to calculate interest rates the easy way. He started borrowing the machine to do just that. I watched him the next day run the figures then turn to paper and pencil to check the answer, bless his heart.

    We shall not go into proper counting as directed by Brother Maynard as it is quite silly.

    Just remembered something I did as a kid when we'd visit back at the old country place: Crank up water from the cistern.

    The F troop Indians were the The Hekawi tribe.

    Here's what Wikipedia has to say about the series--
