Calculators have completely ruined my math skills. I can’t do basic shit, like multiplication… BASIC times table multiplication 6 times 7 and what-not. I used to be pretty good, when they had those math drills in school, or number crunchers on the Macintosh computers (they didn’t call them “Mac’s” then). Whiz whiz I’d finish my test, quiz, or challenge. We even had paint by numbers – math stylez. I was always the first finished.

No longer – I’ve reverted to counting with my fingers, and anything more than that I’ll have to consult the computer – or an Oracle of sorts.
