Zach Wolff notes:

* I was born in 1980 and feel I have to stick up for my generation.

I'm glad to see the younger generation standing up for itself. But do they
know
how to take the cap off a coke bottle using the chrome trim on the side of a
car
(as if there were any chrome trim left). :-)

And, of course, there's always the slide rule (with either K&E or Pickett
supporters).

I have two good K&E slide rules. One has an instruction book in
Swedish, believe it or not. I also have a steam table and an old
book of integrals by Peirce which I have carried around for 30 years.
Somehow the integrals I use don't change very much! WBN
