If you dont like more than 4 buttons on a calculator, whats your limit for beads on an abacus

I cannot tolerate an abacus at all. How can one add zero using an abacus? Unless it has no beads...

Nice descriptions, all. Tonight I'll start writing up a new page and see who hasn't turned in their homework.
I got alabastered this morning, too.
The man has come and turned on the pilot lights for my wall heaters. It's autumn and Vinnie is happy to be indoors.
Art class tonight.

My calculator's got 50 buttons to.
It's an fx-7400G PLUS, apparently (I won't mention the manufacturer). What's yours, Lizzy?
The homework I'm doing at the moment is co-ordinate geometry. Graphs, basically. Pretty simple. I've got two teachers though, and the other one's doing polynomials. Again!

I don't want to, I'm telling you - I don't want to, I haven't got the time to write, I haven't got the time for research - let me go!
*tries desperately to fight her other self*
Oh bother - got an idea for a new entry watching TV this evening - and it's itching and itching in my mind - if I don't write it, I'll go crazy *stops, thinking: I'm already crazy* - OK, so completely insane!
*sobs*
Please let me off the hook, please...

Loony helps Titania off the hook. Puts a side of fresh NZ in her place. The best, the very best...

We started up our heater last week, Lil. And it looks like we'll need it again very shortly.

OK, so we're comparing devices now, are we?
A vacuum cleaner sales man once knocked on my door, I opened, and he asked 'What kind of vacuum cleaner do you own?'
I told him, and he just said 'thanks' and left... so I guess it's a good one - and yes, I still have to put my foot firmly on the carpet while vacuuming one(sp?)
And on calculation - did you know you can count up to 99 using your fingers?

Thanks Looney, but 'ain't nobody can get me of this hook but myself'

Actually, you can count up to 1023 on your fingers and thumbs if you use base 2.
