   I was surprised to see a Burroughs Class 1 adding machine at an estate sale today. This is a classic Burroughs, the Cadillac of their product line, and I would guess around 100 years old. I was able to resist the urge to get it because I already have this model (in better condition) and the stand.

     @kyle I wish our technology looked more steampunk like this and less "futuristic" like a flat rectangle with glass.

     @kyle Not saying our new technology can't look cool either, I just like the classiness of the old stuff.
