WHEN I WAS A KID . . .

When I was a kid, I had to do one of the geekiest of things.  When I took engineering at the University of Cincinnati, we had to carry a slide rule to class.  Nobody but nobody, none of my real friends, would ever be caught dead with a slide rule, in those days.  Nowadays, it may be equivalent to a pocket protector.  Very few people know what a slide rule is - much less, use one.

For some reason, I never forget the embarrassing moments.  Lord knows, I seem to forget most other things.  (Yes, I still have one and know how to use it.)
