Irish calculators? I'm almost scared to ask!! :D

But not too scared - what are they? And how do they work? (I feel Irish jokes coming on...) ;)

210825 2004-01-29 04:21:00 Babe

are they actually a calculator run by something or a hand one? not an Abacus or whatever its called????

and do they still go? and if they arent hand ones i spose it would be difficult to get batteries then....:p

210827 2004-01-29 04:32:00 my main machine is a Athlon XP 2000+, 512mb RAM lada lada la

I have a P133 and P120 which i use from time to time to surf the net when my bro's are playing games on the 'beast'. I also have a P133 used as a cd player (i'm on a budget here...).

I'm sure i have a 386 lying around in a cupboard some where,with a whole 16mb of ram (huge at the time)... i may use it as a firewall or doorstop or something...
