I have a Panasonic DMP-BD60 I got last spring or so for around $189. It has pretty good reviews. I saw an add recently for it for $109.
I think it’s about time to go back to using our brains instead of calculators. I went to a store recently and made a purchase that totaled $1.64. I gave the cashier $2. The register read that I was to receive 36 cents in change. I told the young girl I had a penny. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a calculator. I couldn’t believe this. I told her to give me 35 cents back. She said, “I can’t figure that out in my head.” Is this so awfully hard? What are our children learning today, if anything?
