I had 5 siblings we were poor but didn’t know it because everyone was poor lol. I was born in 1957. All the kids in the neighborhood (not HOOD like the gangsters <GANGBANGERS> of today) would get together in the fall to play football. No one could afford a football so we used a bleach bottle, true story. When I was in grade 11 taking electrical training the teachers used slide rules and we used trig tables. After a trade show one of our teachers showed us a pocket calculator he bought, I think it was like $80 and was able to add, multiply subtract band divide. My how times have changed.
