Considering I was making about $2.35 an hour back then it hurts even more.... I got a 'freeby' calculator once because I bought something else at the store that had more functions than my first one. At college, some kids with calculators were wearing them on their belt like a gun just in case they needed some emergency number crunching. Show-offs.....
