  1. A bit like riding a bike, once learnt, one might be a little wobbly to start but... Congrats on having a side rule in your bag in 2014. I "lost" my last one in 2016... this encourages me to hunt a 'good old' linear out, from some shop or pawn store... : )))))

  2. UK Senior school, back in the day, for ages 11 to 16 y.o., week one in maths class was to use log graph paper to make a cardboard linear slide rule... 8 years later I then got my first Casio 'green' numbered calculator... 4 years later both a new slide rule and a Casio "BASIC" programmable calculator... the via CPM into DOS into Windoze via main frames, skipping most of the HP reverse Polish, etc., etc. But if you make one, and get the real basics of 'log' tables (6 digit ones, not those with 4 digit training wheels) engineering is just so much easier. : ))))) Many thanks for this content, excellent new 'stuff' and memory revivals.
