One of these things cost some bucks and was a pretty nice machine.





These hand helds also cost some bucks. You could run a different programs on them by using these magnetic program strips.

We used to DREAM about living in a corridor!

I still have my slide rules!  I think I took the very last slide rule class ever held at my junior college in 1975.  Even though I could already use one (dad had taught me...he still uses his!!!), the class was required!  Probably the only A I ever got at that school...
