Simply put, I love a slide rule. My dad gave me mine for my 17th birthday, 48 years ago and I’ve treasured it ever since. It’s the Pickett trig model and it served me well into my 3rd year of college as a EE. Its simple to use after you’ve been trained and totally reliable. It can also be quick as your skill using it develops. It sits in a drawer today but I take it out occasionally to play with. It truly is like a friend.
