How many here ever used a slide rule?
Define "use". Chewing on it for teething purposes count? :) If so, I was using one before I was 18 months old, maybe even before I was a year old.
I *have* used the two that I inherited from my father, on occasions where it was just easier to whip it out and use it for an approximation rather than use a calculator and get a degree of precision that I really didn't need. (And yes, one of them has toothmarks on it.)
Well I wouldn't remember how to use one, but I do remember they were pretty handy before calculators came along. Once you got the gist.
Teeth marks might make it harder to read in places though...
