If I would have gotten hold of it when I was in high school, I think it must have been a fun time!!

From spelling out words when turned upside down, to arcade-style games. There are even fascinating games that can be played on the most basic of calcs if you add a a deck or cards and things like that - Just look for books with titles containing "Calculator" and "Games" on eBay. The books have been out of print for years, but are still fairly common and often go go for thier listing price of $1-2. You will be amazed at what you can play on any calc. For me the best of these books is "The Pocket Calculator Game Book" by Edwin Schlossberg and John Brockman, as it seems aimed more at Techies, Geeks and older children.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, many people remember calcs with disgust from math classes as they never found out all the fun they can do as well as just classes!<BR/><BR/>Rememebr a modern calc has more power than it took to get us to the moon!TK_Mnoreply@blogger.com
