I once had a Pickett N-20 (or N-28?), a "Cadillac" among slide rules.
All I have left now is an E6B.
I have a Post Versalog in front of me right now (at my computer at
work) - in case the computer goes down. But it's very hard to get
it out of the leather case.
When my computer is working, I can use the following Java Slide Rule:

Here's Dave's slide rules http://www.eyrie.org/~dvandom/slide/

I have a round dozen of the low-priced POST slide rules that were
offered for about $4.00 when I was in high school chemistry.
Surprisingly, none of my students choose to abuse them, so they're still
in very good shape. I bought the abaci at Barnes & Nobel years ago, for
around $6.95 each, and again, they're still in good shape. I still get
snide remarks about my "bead collections". :-D
