     When I was teaching lab as a grad student back in 1978, I had the occasion 
to take a slide rule with me as my calculator batteries had died.  A student 
asked me to check his calculations, so I whipped it out and a few swoops later 
verified what he had done.  He looked at me in amazement and asked me "What is 
that?". 

     BTW:  Did you know you can add using a slide rule?
