Now ya did it Brian! I will always have a soft spot for slide rules. Of
course they are obsolete, but when I got my first slide rule, it took
math out of the abstract and put it in the real world for me.
I was in the last class at our school that was trained in their use. I
kind of miss the engineer's sixshooter on my belt! ;^)
Where d'ya put the batteries in those things anyhow?
