You kids .....
everybody ain't young on this thread .....

Heck ...Paddy O'Slevin INVENTED the slide rule fer heavens sake ....

but that was only after he'd pilfered the idea from ME /////

and ya'll talking bout T-Squares ...
I used one, along with several Triangles, and other various of my drafting tools, to draw up the plans for the greenhouse/spa/sitting area I just built onto the house late this summer...

AND btw, I used those same tools, and even the same OLD brain, to design/blueprint the house 21 years ago .....

Now, that abacus thingie ...
we did learn how to use one in OurLadyOfVictoryCatholicSchool somewhere back in the late 40s (the year, not me40s)

but am wee bit tired from putting 1300+ miles on my new Suburban this first week of it being owned by me .....

and I don't have ANY trouble admitting I'm old/elderly/cranky/cheap/eccentric/and didn't vote for GORE..

Nemer

ps ...
on the way to Mass so I won't be back to accept any slings and/or arrows ......ggggg
