Gizmos and me

Back in February 1975, at the ISPO Ski Show in Munich, Germany, a Japanese co-worker gave me one of the first small hand-held calculator available (the size of today's smart phones), with LED display if you are old enough to know it means. It had no memory but could extract square roots. I was so happy with my new possession that I couldn’t find enough things to figure out. Without a doubt, this wonderful little gadget was what made me fall in love with computers and all of our modern gizmos.
