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.

I was down the road at Rose Poly in Terre Haute in 70 as an undergrad..(Became Rose Hulman when I was a sophomore)
Yes no calculators... until we got the SR-10 (Slide Rule 10)
I still have one..... I am tempted to give it to students who forget their calculator in my physics class.
Same computer... same keypunch rooms....
its hard to believe we are coming up on 50 years since those times.
