DISQUS

I'm glad you found the post useful, Bob. Thanks for the feedback, and I hope you enjoy collecting abaci as much as I do. :)

@Online Alarm-Thanks for the site! I'll have to check it out.

@Scott-That is quite an elaborate April Fool's Prank! I am glad that none of the Zaphu guys pulled that one on me. Thanks for commenting, and be sure to let us know if you create any more clever pranks!

@Jordan314-With April Fool's Day quickly approaching I appreciate learning new Mac pranks to use on the Zaphu team! Keep 'em coming ;-)

Thanks, Debbie! This one is great. Notice that I added a "Reader Suggestions" section above!

@Avid Reader - I am glad you enjoyed the post. If you do purchase any of the clocks I mentioned, please comment again and let me know what you or the gift recipients think!

@Amy-It sounds like your abacus looks a lot like the one I show above. The number of beads in each column is standard for a Chinese abacus, but the number of columns may differ from abacus to abacus. The one I show above has 13 columns, but I have others that have as few as 5. If you are trying to learn how to use the abacus to add and subtract, then hopefully you can follow my instructions above. Do you have any specific questions you'd like me to try and answer?

Nice post, Franklin. I find your shortcuts particularly useful when my fingers on one hand are covered with Cheeto cheese. I'll try not to leave orange fingerprints on your keyboard when I wage my counterattack for all of those screen color inversions ;-)

@AvidReader, I am glad my compilation of pranks entertained you! Have fun pranking your friends.
