So now you're pickin' on my slide rule? Is nothing sacred??
I like my slide rule. Its more useful than my solar-powered flashlight.
The slide rule works without any power or batteries. :-)
And its accurate to 3 (sometimes 4) significant digits.

Solar powered flashlight? Heck, we have a made up loony lefty here in
Minneapolis who wants people to use electric powered generators to
reduce noise and pollution during emergencies. Morgan Q. E.

I have 2 slide rules that I picked up recently, but I miss my easy on
the eyes yellow aluminum Pickett LogLogDeciTrig (I think that's what it
was) that got misplaced during a move a couple decades ago. I also wish
I still had my HP35, 45 and 11C. I do have a working HP25, 15C and 48SX
though.
