My parents gave all the neices and nephews a CASIO calculator one christmas.
A neice showed me hers AND IT HAD A SQUARE ROOT KEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My 79 buck 4 banger didn`t do square roots so I went to the mall and bought one
of those.
Can`t remember the Modle Number, couldn`t find it in this room, it is probably
downstairs.
