I would LOVE to learn how to use a slide rule. Can you send it to me?
I never had the foggiest idea how to. Always envied those that did.
I'll send you a link instead: http://www.sliderules.info/a-to-z/instructions.htm
I'm thinking you're a bit deranged for professing such fondness for this arcane set of skills. A calculator is usually quicker and more accurate you know. However, I do like the fact that once you set up a problem you can "see" a variety of solutions and how the dependent variables vary with the independent variables.
