Wednesday Website of the Week: RetroCalculators.com

In yesterday's retro tech Tuesday, we showed you how to use an abacus, one of the earliest types of calculator. Well, the video came to us from our selection for the Wednesday Website of the Week: RetroCalculators.com. "Ehh, I'm not into calculators," you say. Well the site isn't filled with LCD marvels from the 70's and 80's. Rather, it gives us glimpses at stunning examples of industrial design, and mechanical genius.

Each model is meticulously detailed, and written in an approachable fashion. It would be a great site for Jonathan Ive if he ever gives up on this whole Mac design thing, and enters the world of standalone calculators. Check it out.

Retro Tech Tuesday: The Abacus

There's old-school, then there's old-school! Today we're turning the retro-tech dial all the way to the left to go back to where it all started: The abacus. If you've ever seen the mysterious device, and wondered just how to use it, well today is your lucky day. 

Enjoy!
