    I just found out from reading that there are two kinds of Linux out there:

    Linux Paid OS/Apps
    Linux Free OS/Apps

    I just found out that people no longer run computations on an Abacus.

    Ah man... Does that mean I need to replace mine with one of the new-fangled calculators? ;)

    Commodore made a hell of a calculator back in the day which ran the 1st BBS's on 1-bit hardware. The 2 baud modem...if you can find it...is bigger than the calculator itself and lets you enjoy the 300 baud modems we all enjoyed in
    the past..
