Frank,

I attended college in slide rule era of the late 40s- early 50s, and still 
have at least three around the house.  In the engineering jobs I held early 
on, a 6-inch P&E rule fit nicely in the shirt pocket and was plenty accurate 
for work in the field.  I transitioned to Friden and Marchant desktop 
calculators for serious computations, and didn't own a pocket calculator 
until my sons outgrew the ones I bought for them to use in college.  Now 
they are all involved in serious work with computers, and the old man has to 
work hard to hold a technical conversation with them.
