Check out what I just found in the July 27 edition of Newsweek,
Cyberscope, page 11:
Russian Additions
The Museum of Soviet Calculators on the Web (MOSCOW for short, at
www.comcen.com.au/~adavie) will thrill collectors and amuse the rest of
us. "The weird stuff about Soviet machines is what I love," says its
curator, Andrew Davie, 33, a programmer from Australia who owns 15 of the
60 devices pictured at his site. Example: unlike American caluclators
that form all numbers from 0 to 9 using just seven little parts, some
Russian ones use nine.
