FORTRAN faggot here.
Retired Boomer fag here. I went through school using a slide rule for all nuc eng calcs. Had orgasm when saw first HP-45 calculator for $400 or so in 1974. Now I wonder did I really live through that? I think I'm smart but I tell you, what you young whippersnappers can do dazzles the shit out of me. What a team we have!
What happened in SA will happen here.
"An army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, and fights as a team. This individual hero stuff is bullshit. The bilious bastards who write that stuff for the Saturday Evening Post don't know any more about real battle than they do about fucking. And we have the best team—we have the finest food and equipment, the best spirit and the best men in the world. Why, by God, I actually pity these poor bastards we're going up against." – George . Patton
The HP-45 cost about $400.
