Well, I heard from a classmate from, eh, class of a long time ago, yesterday. It is always nice to hear from those classmates. Interesting to hear about their life, what all has happened and bring each other up to date on present activities…Anyway, this fellow was one or two grades in front of me, but he was always very nice and kind of treated me as an equal, not as an under classman, so I thought very highly of him……so it was very good to hear from him and I hope to hear more about his life in the near future….We always, I should say, I always like to share the good things that have happened, not the sad or bad things…I guess that is normal, huh….Anyway, if some more of you graduated from PiCoHi, whatever class, let me hear you ….. pete@hesterbooks.com will work…..
Pete,
I have a solution for your calculator problems, that is, finding a calculator with enough digits to handle the Obama dificit. It is the Obama Spendulus Calculator. It only cost $14.95. That is much less than what I spent for my first calculator back in the Seventies (it only had ten digits and cost $300), and it is even less than what I spent for my first slide rule in 1959 as a Georgia Tech freshman fresh out of PiCoHi. Its 14 digits should fit your requirements for a couple of months anyway. You better hurry and do your calculations fast before the mass of people begin using Obama Care because a calculator that will handle $99,999,999,999,999 will not be enough. You will certainly have to begin using logarithms after that. You might ought to just use a slide rule. Its faster and has a shorter learning curve.
SOLUTION: The Obama Spendulus Calculator has 14 digits; enough digits for $99,999,999,999,999. That’s one dollar short of 100 trillion dollars.
The Obama Spendulus Calculator is a full featured calculator with large keys and an easy to read display. With 14 digits, it can handle the spending and stimulus packages coming from Washington (for now).

I am pretty sure that to congress, 99 trillion is less than 99,999,999,999,999.00…So they need the 14 digit calculator…I don’t know they may not care since they have a cash cow in the American public…
