Thanks for looking guys. My dad made me an abacus when I was little with checkers instead of beads. But it worked and helped with arithmetic. I thought of the idea and was a little sad that I did not have my old abacus from 50 years ago when my wonderful daughter in law said that she had seen one in the toy closet. I did not do anything fancy on the lighting, just soft bounce, but I was excited that the idea fit the category so well. Thanks Bill
