I have a request for information from a Chicago Tribune reporter who
is interested in writing a story about technical people who use a slide

rule to do technical work. I posted this to chi.general about a week
ago and got some interesting responses but nothing from anyone who

actually uses a slide rule for technical work.  (Several used it as a
reminder of the difficulties they had to get through in studying engineering.
Some just can't throw theirs away and keep them just to look at them.)

Anyway, I've passed along to the reporter the responses so far.  Now
to broaden the request....  Does anyone out there in net.general-land
use a slide rule to do technical work?  If so, will you send me mail
telling me about it?  Thanks!!
