You know, you used to be real cool when you had strapped on your leather slide rule carrier to your belt...

Yah, right! It was called "The mark of the geek" when I started college in 1963 as an electronics engineering major.
I still have the slide rule and its leather case, though. Darned if I can remember how to use it now. Oh well. I never became an engineer anyhow.

Only EE's strapped them to their belts.
Real engineers crammed them upside down in a hip pocket.

Yeah, that and the pocket protector with 4 colors of ball-point pen. Real cool.
