I have seen this myself in the Netherlands.
Well, good for them! I've always aimed for the hole or the cake. If the location of the fly is what I've always should have been pointing at, I appreciate knowing now. Somebody should have come up with a target ages ago, with a high score scoreboard. Men are competitive after all.
At that time a simple math calculator was considered a a computer, The first lcd calculators were considered advanced high tech. People used to reserve a spot at university science labs to crunch numbers that we now use the most basic calculators for. When the fist lcd calculator was made it was big deal. Every much as a big deal as Windows 95.
I remember my sister had a calculator that cost her $300 that use a red LCD readout, but it was a scientific calculator. That was like 1980. By 1985, every kid could own a calculator, although few did. I remember calculator watches in the 1980s. I purchased a calculator for around $100 which was a scientific calculator in 1989. It had all the constants programmed into it, and was able to do some simple calculations of common problems.
The glowing orange amber digits was the first expensive calculator. The LCD made them cheap. My dad was pissed because he spent over $175 for a cheap Texas Instrument calculator. Then a year later the banks were giving away free LCD calculators to open an account. The Casio Calculator wrist watch blew his mind. .
