I actually went running with her tonight at Tempe Town Lake. Anyway, after telling her what a bloggy geek I am, she recommended that I check out your blog, so here I am. Where is your "about me" link? Becky <a>http://nooniebug.blogspot.com</a> Hello Wayne,

The no-dogs-allowed has been an inhibitor. Why would I want to hike without my dog? Still, I will have to make that a priority now that it is cool again.

]]> Comment on Feeling nostalgic…. for calculators?? by Brant http://wayneswhirled.com/2008/10/27/feeling-nostalgic-for-calculators/#comment-358 Brant Sun, 02 Nov 2008 04:07:32 +0000 http://wayneturner.wordpress.com/?p=401#comment-358 I was in my first circuits class in '71 when the first HP scientific calculator came out, the HP-35 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-35) selling for about $400. All the cool kids had them stuffed in their shirt pocket, but us regular folks still had to use sliderules ($400 was a LOT of $$ back then). A couple years later I was able to afford TI's counter to the HP-35, the $170 SR-50 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI_SR-50). Used all 10 digits of floating point precision in my nuclear engineering class. I still have my Pickett N3 rule (http://www.sliderules.info/collection/10inch/030/1037-pickett-n3-es.htm), though I have absolutely NO idea how do anything but multiply any more. Nostalgia for sure.
