You were fairly slow to catch onto those "new fangled" calculators then :-)
30 years ago I was already using a HP35 calculator, having sold my slide
rule.

You've sold your slide rule? My Thornton is still sitting in front of
me at the back of my desk. I still use it sometimes to explain logs to
the new generation - the wonder in their eyes when at last they
understand them is great. I did get an HP35 when it came out though -
I'm still paying the mortgage off!

Yeah I sold my best one and kept my cheapie. Since it's never been out of
the case in 30 years, I'm glad I sold the other while it was still worth
something. Then again maybe there are slide rule collectors now paying silly
money?

Isn't that what log books are for?

I know what you mean, it took me a year to pay mine off at the time :-(
Even so I don't regret it.

I remember salivating over the HP-35 at the college bookstore in 1972.
Still remember the price-tag: $395. Everyone paid list price back then.

To be honest, I was probably using a Casio 25 years ago, but I still
have three slide rules, including the redoubtable Otis King
'truncheon'. Eeee, them were't days! :-)
