Still have a slipstick as well.. ;-


**Me too. I have the finest one ever made. The mighty Faber Castel
2/83N.


Mine is just a cheap Ricoh (Japanese) one. Bought it for 6th form and
university. The curious thing about it is that it is made from wood with a
plastic facing for the scales! Thus I can claim to have an analogue
computer[1] made of wood. :-)

[1] OK, its not programmable, so not really a 'computer'. However it never
gave me a blue screen... ;-

Slainte,

Jim


Of course it is programmable. You prgramme it by setting up the
sliders against each other in their proper dispositions, then you run
the programme by sliding the cursor along to the right point.
