    it’s actually faster to compute for many operations than using a calc.

    and these guys also do a tv ad by flying around in a helicopter. They should check the history of outfits who used the same ploy. They crashed. Enjoy the ride. It’s going to be short.

    Man, sliderules!
    That reminds me of the story about the constipated mathematician: He worked it out with a slide rule.

    For a second I thought DealBreaker was putting straight ads in the RSS feed.
    I came to post a complaint, and then I saw the picture and realized – oh, Abacus.
    I get it now. Ha ha. Technology. Very funny.
    But if actual ads ever get into my RSS I will have something to say about it.

    You don’t want to use a computer when you are figuring out the losses on CMO’s that you just sold to some midwestern idiot. Abaci work quite well calculating bond prices, er, Bear Stearns style.
