Have you ever noticed that an abacus has unnecessary beads?
After the "one" counters get up to four the next "one" makes it five and you
zero the five "one" beads and move a "five" bead over. The fifth "one" bead is
not needed because once it is moved the "one" row is zeroed.
Same with the second "five" bead.

know how?
I know the feeling! Don't get me wrong, I love the new marine electronics with
touch-screen ability to bring up just about everything except my wife's recipe
folder but there have been days when I've longed for a typewriter, telex (does
anyone remember those punch-hole tapes?), and an abacus!!!
