stick an electrical probe into things.

My favorite pastime...........after praising the sun, that is.

I'm older than you are, hence my knowledge. But bashing people on the head with clubs was out of fashion when I went to school so I don't go that far back. On the other hand, I know what a log-log slipstick was.

pretty fancy language for a slide-rule...

The height of nerd fashion in my days. Alpha nerds wore these on their belts at all times.

Ah, I remember the good ole days....sword fights with slide rules.

These simple tools guarantee many things, but #1 is "Pocket calculators will remain popular, forever."

On the serious side (sorry) I can't tell you how strong a symbol this tool is. Look at the elements: leather, steel, clear-plastic, wood, laminate. The entire thing is like a gesture of defiance against what is. To me it says "I will to become more."

bashing people on the head with clubs NVER went out of fashion and I refuse to believe otherwise....they just renamed it fustigation

I was just really starting to learn to use a slide rule when my dad acquired a TI calculator. I can't imagine that we had the resources at the time to buy the SR-50 or its immediate successors, but what I remember looked very much like the TI-30, but it wasn't released until 1976. But I do remember using the calculator two or three years before that, at least when I was a freshman (probably not before that, though).
