I still have my Picket slide rule. Never runs out of juice!

OK, youngsters
I waited two months for my new HP-35 to be delivered and what a joy. I was
using an I/O console for a 20 bit binary computer with a 12 bit address bus
(32+ switches) and even though the HP-35 didn't do decimal/octal conversions
directly it eased my workload considerably. I still have it - well I also
have my slide rule <g>,
My thanks also for a nice trip down memory lane.
