Have you seen those scientific calculators? You needed to learn how
to use them in school because your parents certainly couldn't teach
you. My kids were required to have one when they were in HS almost 15
years ago when the cheap TI ones cost $100. OUCH! Then they traded
calculator games and played during class time (or so they claimed).
Double Ouch.
