#2 Class if 2014 was born in 1992? Suddenly I am feeling old. I guess I'll not be buying anymore green bananas.

Ah slide rules. I remember taking a basic engineering course in the operation of a slide rule. It was not as easy a course as I thought it was going to be. The slide rule later gave way to the hand calculator and computer. The Osborne computer is not on the list either.
