Your calculators don't have the 1 2 3 4 6 8 9 keypad?

All our calculators have had the 5 and 7 keys missing for years to get us to do more maths while we do our maths. That's how you be more productive with the same product!

Reminds me of sun Microsystems, which got contracts to sell calculators to schools because of their support for Vietnam in the war.

Edits: not that anyone is going to see this but now that I think of it it might be not Sun Microsystems but Texas Instruments.
