I decided to purchase an abacus for my desk. Students need at least 180 credits to graduate and at least 60 of those credits need to be from upper division courses. I decided that it would be interesting to see the reaction from my students as I calmly ignored my computer screen (with their credit information) and flicked away at my new abacus.
I am ornery.

Now why use an abacus when a good ol’ American-made slide-rule would have been even more archaic (and less racist)?
;-)
I guess I could have also purchased a used Commodore 64 and placed it next to the Dell on my desk…
from one INFJ to another that abacus idea of yours rules!
