Hello Everyone,Â
An abacus, also called a counting frame, is a calculating tool used primarily by Asians for performing arithmetic processes.
As a low vision person, for many, many years (before the invention of talking calculators) I used the abacus as my primary computing device. In fact, I still consider myself an intermediate to advanced user of this very ancient and very honorable counting tool.

Then there was my beloved Samsung Epix SGH-i907 Windows Mobile Professional touch-screen Pocket PC Smartphone and, away from it went Speed Dial. (The pain! The pain!)Â
