It was probably a TI. As was mine, which I think I paid around 45$, and I still have it.

Every once in awhile I will solve some geometry by hand just to remember the old days. I know the kids coming out of tech school will probably not know how to use trig tables or even write their own G-code. But they probably will never have to. I will never go back to writing my own code. CAM packages are faster at it and don't make mistakes.
As for computer age kids, I guess somebody has to do it. I apologize for so many posts. But I have not fiqured how to lump them together.

Besides, it takes a whole village to raise a child.

My Mom and Dad raised me...

But I guess you need a village if the parents are incarcerated....

Hell they aren't even taught how to dress for or prepare for an interview....

I turn many away for being late or having the " I need a job" attitude..

I spent many hours trying to debug machining programs / If I made the program, I`d always blame Master--- Cam..

I can't remember, but I gave it to my son along with the instruction book & my fathers drafting tools, that I used throughout high skool & kollege
"dinosaur tools" as the young'ins call them now.
Today they draw with solidworks 3D,2 LCD's, and "print" the parts.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
