My slide rule is patinated. Like those sophomore physics tests several decades ago at Georgia Tech, during which electronic calculators were not permitted, and points were deducted for failure to show work, include correct units, express results to the required number of significant figures, etc.
My slide rule was replaced by a
15C calculator. Now that calculator has been replaced by an app. Someday, apps will be patinated.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

I have long since given up on these hints, and come to the conclusion that they are designed to befuddle us all and amuse Dave. - Rickertsen2 [more]
