I got my first pocket calculator in 1974 when I was in New York City attending the unveiling of Malcolm Bricklin’s new car. The calculator, with just the basic “add, subtract, multiply and divide” functions lasted longer than Bricklin’s car company, despite an influx of cash (millions) from the tiny Canadian province of New Brunswick.

Why would you even have pocket calculators? I can tell you how many pockets you have—none!

Calculators in pockets. So that the “little things” can count. Hmmm…

I refuse to throw away all my Hewlett-Packard’s, too!
Thanks Apple! You’ve made me a hoarder!
