Sheer luxury, I would have dreamed about having an abacus (except they hadn't been invented then) when I were a lad.

We used to sit outside our cave, trying to count using rocks, (but we hadn't invented numbers yet - so this caused us some problems) and the great big black obelisk kept interrupting with suggestions as we pranced around it clubbing each other with animal bones.

Can any of you old-timers beat that?
