I still have the slide rule I used at school. I still just about remember how to use it. Not many people younger than me (I'm 59) will have used a slide rule to do real work.
Which reminds me of a story......
God had finished his creation and was mighty pleased with himself. He told all the animals to be fruitful, to go forth and multiply. So all the animals obeyed god and walked, swam, flew to do you know what. Apart from a pair of small snakes who were looking very worried and confused. They said to god that they didn't know how to go forth and multiply. God was perplexed, then the penny dropped. He got one of his angels to cut down some trees and fashion them into rustic tables. The small snakes were delighted. As they said: "We're adders, so to multiply we need log tables!"
