Know that one... tried editing some code one day the old fashioned way... but the red pen just messed up my screen *grin*. During my time at CWRU one of the classes required that you "wipe" the memory on your programable TI's and HP's..... the groans were unbelievable as many had probably spent more time programing than studying.... Now I did notice one thing missing from the trivia list though.... Does anybody else here know how to use a sliderule? (or maybe I shoud say did.. been so long I've probably forgotten.)
