[BlindTlk] [BlTlk] abacus replacement

[Judy Jones]

Hi, Jasmine,

There is probably still material available. I would Google to see what not can find.  It was called the Cranmer Abacus.

I actually did all my school math on a Tayrr slate.

Hi, 
I would love to know how much one of the Reizen abacus costs. I would love
to get one, although I don't use the abacus well. I didn't really use them
as a child, so don't know how to keep scores on them either. I'd love to
know how this works as well.

Hi, Jude, everything looks fine, and I would love to have another abacus.  I
had the Cranmer one, too and used it to keep game scores and also track of
my knitting rows in garments.  It always came in handy for something, and
was the best-made one I had seen.
Thanks for this.

I bought two reizen abacuses from amazon and found two features that make
them better than the cranmer abacus I have from APH.  First 15 columns not
13.  Second each abacus comes in its own carrying case that can be sealed
with a catch.  The cranmer abacus I have is going in the trash since it has
been held together with scotch tape for several years.  I got two of these
and put one away in a drawer so when the other gets too old I need only
order a replacement and take the other out of the drawer and put it into
service.  Typing may not be all that good, I'm using a chromebook now my
computer is out for repair and keys take longer to key on this than the
other keyboard.
