...those of us that know how to use a slide rule, a protractor, a compass, and a mechanical pencil, will be in HIGH demand

Mine are all sitting in a box at the end of my desk.

Even got a lead sharpener and a half box of Pink Pearls in there....

(Funniest thing is going to be listening to the whining when some of 'em have to work with those old vellums or have to actually work through some stress analysis by writing numbers on a piece of paper....after they find The Book and the proper equations.)

Picvture it.Desert Shield moving at flank speed into Desert Storm......first use of the 500 bed combat tent hospitals......WHAT A SURPRISE the Generators fail! YOu can not even begin to imagine the number of nurses and Docs that had NO CLUE how to calculate an IV drip (in their head) or how to do a Central Venous Pressure reading without a computer to do it for them..........it was one of those brief shining moments when we old war horse nurses shined ;-)
