As a side note...I also took the last slide rule class they offered at ISU. I hope the WP34S catches on and inspires a whole new generation of RPN users. You know, things that are old become new again. GO CYCLONES!
(hope you stopped at Hickory Park while you were in Ames)

OMG ... I grew up in Ames. Hickory Park has become an institution (established about ~1970)... and yes, we stopped in there for my son's birthday dinner... fabulous chicken and ribs, and all the rest, really a good time (I can hardly believe how big they have become) and there was standing room only... incredible.

By the way, I was in the last slide-rule class as well, but I used my slip-stick well into the late seventies because I liked it (knew how to use it, and I was fast) and let's face it, for most stuff all you really need are two or three digits anyway/

Go Cyclones!
