Remember
Star Wars and you know the influence of this exciting learning aid. It follows
the tradition of the Little Professor but is
intended for youngsters above seven years instead five years. The DataMan is
preprogrammed to teach the basic four mathematic functions through different
games:
 | Answer checker |
| Missing number |
| Electro Flash |
| Wipe Out |
| Number Guesser |
| Force Out |
From the technology this DataMan from 1978 is similar
to the TI-45 calculator of the same
epoche.
A similar product was later introduced with the Math Marvel game.
