I can still, just about, remember how to use a slide rule. I no longer own one, though. Perhaps I should invest before Armageddon occurs. I can probably use one for basic stuff - I did work with a couple of people who could go all violin virtuoso on them once in a while. One guy used to solve 4th order partial differentials without using paper for anything other than the result. Disappointed my kids dont have to get them for school - well until I saw the prices of them! Tom te tom te tom |
