This is a nice box and collection! It's ironic to me because it took me owning my first Curta to realize that I never really was taught some basic principles of math. Either because I had :
- terrible teachers
- maybe some learning disabilities
I realized for the first time that I made it through school by brute memorization of math tables and process steps without fully understanding some basic foundations. I actually think I would have been better off if they actually taught us math using a Curta |

You obviously weren't in the right place at the right time

Extremely nice work! I'd almost have asked you whether all the machines have consecutive serial numbers (not sure if I'd want to know). ![Wink](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) |
