Liked your jokes, and the slide rule brings back a lot of memories as the HP calculator was just coming out when I graduated from college with EE with Computer Science. Lot of people may laugh at using a slide rule but look at how many projects were done using them that are still around today. With todays computers parts are designed to the bare margin and no beef to make them last longer because of costs. Do not think the Model A would have lasted this long if designed with a computer. Wife says that us engineers are a different breed.
