Never thought of the ways people use math tools such as this, I just keep score by having a tally of players and they tell me their number and I keep it that way, but this is a great one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debby Franson" <the.bee@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Shelley!My friend who is an avid Scrabble player who also goes on tournaments also uses her abacus to keep score.Debby At 01:54 PM 11/6/2009, Shelley L.

It also works very well for taking down phonenumbers or any other numerical data a person needs to reference. It works well for that kind of thing. I've even used it to make note of an ISBN number.

Along with Word and OB, I decided to use my abacus to help me remember what the last page number was in case one didn't scan. I'm making it easier on myself as I go along.
