 		 #126096 - I am not so sure
Responding to: ???'s previous message
About the only people now who need to understand the machanism behind long division are people who have to teach stupid fricking computers how to do it.However I do feel that having an understanding of what happens when you press the magic button helps to lessen the dependance on the fricking computers and means that someone will remember how to do it when the machines rise up and enslave us all.Although I am not sure what use knowing how to do long division will be when we are all working down the salt mines.
