In 1975, I was 5 years old. I asked my family for a calculator for Christmas. My half-brother, a star parochial high-school quarterback, bought me this:

Just finding this picture brought a tremendous wave of nostalgia back for me.

This was absolutely the first indication to my family that I was *not* going to be a star high-school quarterback. I was also a huge fan of Ultra-man and Speed Racer by this point, so my future was pretty much a given.

I had the calculator for years - I think I probably lost track of it when I was around 17.
