Keep in mind, in 50 years, the computer you are using to view this webpage will be landfill, but your trusty slide rule will just be nicely broken in!

...from a wonderfully funky web site just added for the benefit of hopeless geeks to our Work Avoidance list. I have a couple of slide rules around here someplace, nicely broken in, which, come to think of it, might be worth keeping for the day everybody plugs in their new electric cars at the same time and the entire power grid goes down. At the moment, however, I don't actually use them for anything - they just make me feel warm and secure.
