:lol: We had a guy in our group who kept a supply of what were called “Universal Planning Forms” in a drawer in his desk. It was basically a paper and pencil version of an Excel spreadsheet. He was convinced that someday the computers were all going to go “poof”, and he’d be the only one still able to function, because he had those old paper forms! Of course, in the “old days” when using them it took him a week to create what he could do in a few hours on his PC. ::facepalm:: Whenever a new software came out he always said “it’ll never work!” He usually ended up being the most proficient user though. :lol:

BTW I still have my old Dietzgen slide rule - somewhere. Not sure I can still operate it though. But I bet it would come back to me fairly quickly if I had to use it. ::hmm:: And no, all you wiseacres, I never used an abacus!

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

I'm still old school when it comes to calendars, grocery lists, etc. I need to get more comfortable doing all these things on my phone. Yes, I know, I can hear you young whippersnappers out there (with my hearing aids in) "OK, Boomer! snicker"

I never used a slide rule, but once I got beyond MDAS, I was required to have a scientific calculator. Slide rules are modestly priced on eBay; I'm slightly tempted to pick up a small one.

I don't remember at what point in my education that slide rules were mandatory. I think it was high school. I do however recall not becoming particularly proficient with it. Much later, calculators solved all that. (no pun intended)
