Old School

I went to a shop on campus to buy some colored paper today. I got 16 sheets at .80 RMB a sheet. When she needed to add up the total, the woman reached under the counter and pulled out an abacus. An abacus! Now that's old school.

  1. . . . and everyone was making fun of me because I had to take a special class in college because I did not know how to use a slide rule. Little did they know, I was way above the curve as I certainly knew my way around an abacus!!
