    I think you mean slide rules...but you weren't introduced to them until Secondary school (or Granma school ).

    Any clip from TLOTLDR does it for me. An excellent transition into film from Sillitoe's short story. It still induces me to rebel and speak my mind.....perhaps that's why I am broke and unemployed!!!!

    ^ Got a headache just looking at that.


    Saw a comment that the Saturn V/Apollo computer had 100kb of Rom.

    That only took humans to the moon's surface and back.


    Kinda feel a bit entitled here having a 30Mb Farting Sound App on me phone.

    slide rules were a pain but you have to admire what they achieved being operated by apes
