I used to be the navigator on a racing sailboat on Lake Michigan. 
Always took along a 6" plastic K&E slide rule in case the Loran went
down (this was in the pre-GPS days).


Hey, Eric and Wayne.....  Could you get something new going?  Us old
guys are sooooo bored not having anything to build or troubleshoot we're
down to reminiscing about slide rules.  Next topic----- old computers.
