You mean you didn't pull your 9100 apart and work out how it all works 
inside. Pity. You missed out on what is, IMHO, the most beautiful design 
ever. To give you some idea how simple it is, there are well under 1000 
transistors in there (this is a programmable scientific calculator, of 
course). IIRC, there are only 43 JK flip-flops and 1 SR flip-flop in a 
9100B. An amaszingly small number...
