"Slipsticker"?!? I thought I was the last one! C'mon -- who else here has
his old slide rule _and_ still remembers how to use it?
I have my old K&E in the closet; I took a one-hour class in '67,
though I already knew how to use it. One thing I learned using a slide
rule that calculator users seem to not get is a sense of order of
magnitude of the answer.
