Me again:

Well, there ya' go!  Can't put men on the moon without sly-drools.  You had
to be in total mental control of your decimal places at all times, whereas
with digital calcs and computer keyboards, a miss is good as a mile -- off
by a factor of 10 or 100... but the results look authoritative -- so kaboom.


     Remember the required 1/2 unit slide rule class for all
math/science/engineering students??   As far as "Kaboom" goes
;^(....remember the Hubble mis calq?  How about a couple of for sh#t  whiz
kid run Mars shots, and sadly Chalenger?? Yep,  new tools are out there but
ya' gotta know why as well as how to use 'em. And yep we are in the
info_mation age, but when has anyone ever faxed you a sandwhich??
