Ditto.  In fact, I think I still have my old decimal-trig-log-log slide rule floating around somewhere.   Undecided

You are implying you are old enough to know a slide rule if you know what an abacus is.

A slide rule is two sticks with logarithmic scales printed on them.  by sliding them against each other you could do quick multiplication and division etc.  It only gave three significant digits so when calculators came out slide rules died.
