Thanks! Let's see, near my knee is an under-desk basket with my dad's Post (bamboo and made in Occupied Japan) as well as at least one aluminum Post. Also two high-tech circulars - an SIC and a little pocket-sized one with a periodic table on the back and a slide-out card with numerous conversion tables and a Greek alphabet.
The first time I felt truly "old" (41 at the time) is when I was working in a bio lab. I needed to do a dilution series. That is most easily done with a slide rule. While in process, a grad student came in, saw the slide rule, and completely seriously asked "What is that?" Now I don't feel as lonely... -- richard -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2012 10:07 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Way OT: Interesting!
