We bought one of these last year, for my Dad's 70th birthday (he's a math geek). They are very special little devices.

- jacquesm 17y agoWow. That must have cost you a pretty penny. I've been wondering if anybody in my surroundings has one, I'd love to play with one for a bit. Amazing little device, check out the exploded views linked at the bottom of the page.

- cromulent 17y agoThere are a few of us to share the cost, fortunately. An expensive gift, but it gives pleasure to everyone who picks it up, and will do so for a long time.
- jacquesm 17y agoWhat a wonderful thing to do. This is the kind of machine that I think the patent system was intended for, what a genius design.
