The Magic Brain Calculator was a device used many years ago (mabye 1950′s) to solve maths problems. It requires you reset it to all zero’s to begin with and after a bit of practise you can solve many types of mathematical calculations. Clearing the device is just a matter of pulling the metal bar at the top of the machine and pushing it back in. Calculations of up to 8 digits can be performed such as addition, subtraction and multiplication. There are no details on if this device can divide although I am sure the brainy ones among you could work that out. The system works by using the stylus to drag the columns of numbers either up or down depending on the calculation you are performing. By doing this, and in the right order the numbers at the top will eventually give you the answer you need.

…..item 1)…..The Magic Brain Calculator

Perhaps the name of the gadget featured in today’s I Remember JFK memory will ring a bell, perhaps not. But I’ll bet that one glance at the graphic will make you go "Oh, yeah!"
I wish I had my usual researched piece to offer you as far as where the Magic Brain Calculator came from, and its manufacturer, Chadwick. But there just wasn’t a whole lot I could find out. But what little I did glean, I hereby share with you.
A Boomer kid’s options for help in making mathematical calculations on the go in the 50′s and 60′s were pretty few. There were slide rules, which were only for the geeky. My oldest brother, who was in college, had one, but I had no idea how it operated.
Then there was the Addiator, manufactured by Addiator Gesellschaft in Berlin, beginning in 1920. They were sophisticated little hand-held mechanical calculators, but not terribly cheap, and once that nasty Nazi uprising took place, not freely available. But by the time WWII was over, they were back on the market, but still not real cheap.
But in the 1950′s, the Japanese factories began cranking out a low-priced version of the mechanical adding machine. Chadwick was the name of the enigmatic company that manufactured them, and they appear to have slid out of sight without leaving a trace behind.
But they did leave a legacy of thousands of Magic Brain Calculators. Durably made from high-impact plastic and aluminum, probably every one of them still exist in their original form, although many are now buried in landfills, awaiting future archaeological discovery.
The little calculators sold for a couple of bucks in dime stores, and were found in many a Boomer home in the 50′s and 60′s. For that matter, many are still buried in various present-day junk drawers, as they were virtually indestructible, and flat enough to live quietly buried by pens, pencils, and paper clips.
I know that we had one in our house. Seven-year-old I was baffled by its actual usage. Did I mention that math is NOT my strong suit? But that didn’t stop me from enjoying playing with the gizmo for hours nonetheless, inserting numerical values, running mysterious calculations, and pulling the wire handle up to clear everything.
If you too were stumped by how to make the Magic Brain Calculator do addition, subtraction, and even multiplication and division, this site has the original scanned instructions. Very cool!
The sheer indestructibleness of the Magic Brain Calculator, combined with its inobtrusive nature, ensures that many thousands still exist. At presstime, there were several on eBay with .95 opening bids, and one particularly nice model, with stylus intact, was going for .99 with just over a day left.
So if you Boomers still employed in an office want to impress the young punks you work with, pick up a Magic Brain Calculator from eBay, or possibly just dig your own out of the junk drawer. Read the linked instructions and practice making actual calculations, Then, at the next staff meeting, whip out a few figure faster than the youth can get their calculator-equipped cell phones to wake up!

Budgeting Your Money
Certified financial planner Bruce Hagan talks about making a budget and sticking to it.
Posted: 6:31 PM Sep 9, 2011
Reporter: Angela Howard

THE FOLLOWING IS AN INTERVIEW WITH CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER, BRUCE HAGAN:
REPORTER: We often hear of the need to create a written budget for our family finances. Exactly what is budgeting and why is it important?
BRUCE: Budgeting is the process of keeping up with where your money goes. It requires you to analyze your current situation, determine your goals, and develop a written plan against which you’ll measure your progress. It’s important because it helps you plan, track, and control the inflow and outflow of your income.
REPORTER: I would think almost everyone budgets to some extent, but do most people actually develop a written plan?
BRUCE: Some people are meticulous about it and others would rather walk through broken glass barefooted than have to take the time to formalize a written plan
REPORTER: Assuming we opt for the former, what are the steps?
BRUCE: The first two steps give you a snapshot of your present financial situation: First you gather all the data that makes up your financial history. Secondly, you use that information to do a cash flow analysis which is simply adding up all sources of income and subtracting all expenses. If you come up with a positive number you’re earning more than you’re spending. If it’s a negative number you need to make some changes to avoid losing more ground financially.
REPORTER: If it’s a positive cash flow is that the end of the process?
BRUCE: No because to the extent you can make cash flow more strongly positive, you’ll be able to save for upcoming needs and investments. Step 3 is to define your financial objectives. Step 4 is to create a spending plan to achieve them. Step 5 is to periodically monitor your progress against the plan and make adjustments as needed. And since life changes, you will need to make adjustments.
