I actually remember the day JFK was shot. I was five.

I was 20 myself, and remember when a calculator could add, subtract, MULTIPLY and DIVIDE, was MECHANICAL, and could be purchased in engineering magazines for 400 1964 dollars.

Do you have one of those? I'm thinking of creating a 'history of computing devices' display in my room. I have a slide rule and abacus, but someday will have an original calculator, a computer the size of a small house, and one of those primitive cypher encoder things. Just kidding!
