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.

As I recall, it took less than a year for the first LCD calculator to come out, before they were being sold for $10 at Radio Shack. They got cheap quick.

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.

Those early calculators tended to break somehow, so my friend and I used to play this little trick on other students:

- ask to borrow a calculator (they were all the same model at the time)
- secretly swap it for a broken one we had
- before "returning" it, we would put it on the floor and stomp it

The owner would be horrified, then we would hand back their true calculator, unharmed. Kind of a mean trick I guess.

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. .

Well, it was an incredible advancement in technology in just a few years.

The Atari 2600 came out in 1977, and this was Donkey Kong on it:



And this is the Commodore 64, 5 years later:



Technology raced so quickly then. That's what made it interesting.

Too bad. She carried a lot of weight in her movement.

Hahahaha, describes every Golden Mountain Buddhist.

No dog has human ears. Nice joke, though.

Can't get his nut off.

Fling her off after scoring, you get a flaming arrow in the back. The gal who always gets a call back.
