When I was a kid growing up on a cattle farm, my grandad and I used to hot brand cattle. Smelled bad and the cattle weren't too fond of it. Can't imagine there is much call for that now. I took the pay and was off to the coin shop. Money was more valuable then. A nice xf double dime was $20, but that was a week's pay.
That's a great thought!
I was taught math by using an ABACUS, my boys can't even do general Multiplication without a damn calculator.
Fast and efficience are good but NOT too fast on your typing.....This appeared when I was too efficient within my PM-ing

quick story, I started coin collecting as a lad in middle school in Brooklyn NY. On my lunch break, I walked up to Liberty Ave to a Manhattan Bank , went inside and bought a few rolls of pennies or a roll of nickels. I did this for weeks in the 1950's when there were IHC, Flying Eagle cents in the rolls. One day I went into that bank and I was asked to leave because they considered me a pest. I went home, told my parents that my coin hobby technique caused me to be persona non gratia. My parents gave me $5 to open a passbook savings account. From that day on, I went in made a $2 withdrawal in rolls of coins, refilled the rolls and deposited them back into my account and went back to class, Peace Roy

I had a deposit at the bank last week, let's say it was $324.87.
The teller puts the bills in a machine that counts them, then tries to add up the change [3 quarters, 1 dimes, 2 cents],
Finally she calls the head teller over and says "I'm not seeing 87 cents here". ? !
This IS the future.

I like to give clerks exact change and watch their face as they wonder what to punch into the register. Peace Roy

I am a STRONG believer that often the " old ways " were better.
A lot of the resources which used to be available are no longer even being produced, such as physical maps. Therefore it is not always a matter of choice whether to use the new way or not.
