3. The one between me and responsibility for most things

4. zero
I remember my first calculator. You had to roll around a generator to power it. I remember thinking that I was finally going to find out what 1 divided by 0 equals.

7. My first calculator didn't need a generator, but you had to be careful not to bump it,

I remember this event very well. It was an interesting time to be in the Des Moines public school system. And another reason I'm so proud to be an Iowan.
