You know I come from the generation of engineers just after the slide-rule, and all I ever heard about was the slide-rule, the slide-rule, the slide-rule from my professors. We were the most spoiled engineers in the history of engineering, by their account.

I took a 'break' in my college from 1969 to 1974. In 1968 I was using a slide rule, in 1975 I was using a calculator. It was like day and night. Each 'generation' of students becomes the 'most spoiled' with new technology. Enjoy it and appreciate it.
