I still have mine. For the first year of college we were not allowed to use those "new" electronic calculators. http://m8.i.pbase.com/u45/terry_56/upload/34645608.Slip_Stick1.jpg Still have it and still use it when designing vacuum tube circuits for my ham radio station. Somehow it just seems the right thing to do. Besides, keeping track of the decimal point helps to blow the cobwebs out of the gray matter.

Fun tidbit. When my wife's grandfather (who was a NASA engineer during the Gemini program and remained close friends with Gene Cernan) died, we cleaned out his office and found his slide rule. It looked like hieroglyphics to me, but I knew what it was. I hope I get it when my FIL passes. I may even try to figure out how to use it  and pass it along to our son. |

The first digital watches used LEDs. A button on the side had to be pressed to display the time.

Quote HistoryFor those of you that don't know, back in the day when most men shaved with a safety razor you needed a way to safely dispose of the razor. The simple solution was for medicine cabinets to have this little slot that you could simply drop the used blade into. That way you didn't have to worry about cutting the trash bag or your hands when taking out the trash. Where did the razor go? How did you clean them out? Great Questions! The razors ended up behind the medicine cabinet or at the bottom of the stud wall and you simply didn't worry about getting them out. |

1960, the Bulova Accutron, guaranteed one minute/month accuracy.
It used a tuning fork instead of an excapement wheel, and vibrated at 360 Hz. It was powered by a one transistor circuit, the first electronic watch. |

Did anyone else use ledger books, or those old adding machines in their jobs ? All our accounting is done by hand in a ledger book with an adding machine. In fact, by far our most intensive use of computers is for dicking around online when we're bored. A.W.D. |

Quote History You just solved a major mystery for me!! I recently did a renovation on our bathroom and found a bunch of razors in the wall on the floor between two studs. I could not figure out why the heck there would be razors in the wall.

Polaroid Camera. Yep. I remember them.
As for those Coca Cola cans, I think Coors got sued when someone cut himself pushing in the tabs. Then we got the revised lift type tab that we have today. I remember those mimeograph machines from school.
