Synchronistically, I came here from this obit forWalter Shawlee, the Sovereign of Slide Rules. “In 50 years, the computer you are using to view this webpage will be landfill,” he wrote, “but your trusty slide rule will just be nicely broken in!”
I had no idea there had been a slide rule revival! The one in my possession is inherited and some decades older than I am.
His mother, by the way, played Sweet Sue in Some Like It Hot.
