   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.
