I said noooooooo. More accurate, and faster. I already know I can do it in my head if I wanted to... so, why bother?

No, I don't use them. Deb gets frustrated with me cause I can do math in my head and she can't.

As I said earlier, we never really used calculator's when I was at school. To be honest, I'm glad because mathematical tables and adding machines were much, much more fun.

^ppsshhhh yeah right!
Thank goodness we were allowed to use calculators. Although, I did have to memorize the times tables. That wasn't bad. I always had trouble with the sevens and the twelves. Hmm ....

Think about it. You're a kid. You have a choice. A small, grey calculator or a nice, big, colourful abacus. Which is the better option?
