Really?  No decimal numbers on an 83?  Every other calculator I've
seen in the whole world has base 10, it's the other bases that might
not be there.    You say a 92 doesn't have decimal numbers either?
Dang, I'm glad I don't have one of those.  Wait a second!  I do, and
it does have base 10!  let me check just to be sure:
5+5=10
Yep it does.  Digits 1-9 and 0 and no more, yep that's base 10 all
right, a symbol for every finger.

1+1=10, that seems awfully binary to me.
