Subject: RE: Tech: Solar Flare Warning
Recent reports have said that since the first burp arrived there have been two "smaller but significant" flares, that will also arrive here soon.
slide-rule or calculator territory, and I'm still trying to master the abacus ???
I found getting even slightly fluent with the abacus much more difficult than learning to feel comfortable with the second dozen scales on my slide rule.
It was also quite disconcerting to happen on a Chinese abacus after sort of learning to use a Japanese one. ... Real culture shock.
