Does anyone know how to use a slide rule anymore?

Amazon doesn’t sell them, so i had to buy one on ebay with instructions as a refresher.
This originated from a conversation with my dental hygienist who is studying engineering.
I bought an old German one and had to get one for me too, just well...because.

Nostalgia, curiosity, keep the neurons active and all that.

To think they used them to build rockets...the brain pops.

Yes. I still have the one that I used back in the early 70s in engineering college.
It’s a real nice K&E....top of the line in its day.
I sometimes show it to my grandkids and try to explain to them how to use it.
They look at me like I’m some kind of a freak genius from another planet.

Sure, it's as easy as falling off a log.

I do. I have a Post Versalog and its book. It takes a while to get back into it.
