One can only wonder. How did you get through school and to a first job without a slide rule?

Between my High School slide rule days and college HP started selling calculators. Pretty danged sophisticated ones too.

I’m very very old;)

Pens & paper in school. My first job was at an innovative textile company where we actually used manual comptometers, slide rules in accounting and jacquard machines in production.

How did you get through school and to a first job without a slide rule?.... It would’ve looked stupid running through the jungle with one of those things.
