[QUOTE="ratski, post: 2109271, member: 936"] Slide Rules Rule!!! Used 'em alot in highschool and college (yes, and charcoal on the back of a shovel). In my first Chem class, they made a big deal that there were NO CALCULATORS allowed on exams. This was back when the calcs were mainly four function. I asked the prof, what about sliderules. He laughed and said, "yeah, if you know how to work one." I did. I need to ask my dad what ever happened to his. One of the more intricate ones I've ever seen. But then, he is an electrical engineer.
