That's the problem with you kids, you get everything handed to you. No sense of appreciation for us old 'dinosaurs' as you put it Mr. smarty pants. Just remember that slide rule put dinner on this table for years..."

A quote from the above post just popped up at the top of my screen. Thanks for the laugh
Major big-time Deja Vu. When I was a physics undergrad at Purdue in 69, there was no such thing as a handheld calculator. For my FORTRAN class, I had to get up at 4 am, walk 5 blocks to the Math Science building, and stand in line 2 hours for a seat at a keypunch machine.
