It's winter here.
It's dark, dry, and cold.

In a week when not one but two of my college bound lambs could not divide by ten "in their heads," I rail for the almost extinct slide rule.

I was the the last of the slipstick generation--in 1976, the first scientific calculator appeared in my high school physics class. I could do some functions faster than the electronic machine.

I still have mine-a mahogany Keuffel & Esser 4081-3 Log Log Duplex Decitrig, first picked up by my Dad in the 1950's.

OK, you old fart, that was then, this is now...you don't still use that thing, do you?

I do indeed.
My K&E makes for a great back scritcher! Try doing that with your TI 83.
