I had one on the first day of private ground school at Riddle in 2000. Instructor said he didn't know how to use it and instructed me to buy a calculator instead. I never did learn how to use it 
My first charter company used a wheel for weight and balance. Now that I thought was great. So much simpler than paper. These days the iPad does it, but that thing was great in 2007.

Seriously. It really feels like somebody has unleashed a GPT bot upon us.
I used to think that the difference between human intelligence and computer intelligence was that human intelligence felt shame -and then shut up and apologized- when it was far less than adequate. Especially when it was far less than adequate on a repeated basis.
But, you know, these days??? We've now got Faux News and GPT and Llama. (With Llama, when you die, you'll receive "total consciousness", so we've got THAT going for us.)
We would all do well to remember that "normal" and "correct" are very different concepts. Normal is just stuff we experience every day. Correct is stuff that is factually, measurably, and, by replicable-verification... accurate.
Like on SATs, go with your FIRST answer.
Don't ever assume that anything is correct just because you've heard it so often that it has started to seem "normal".

Dude, what the heck? I hadn't even posted on this thread when you called me out. ...For what?
But, hey BRO, thanks!
In the immortal words of Ronald J. McDonald, "I'M LOVING IT!!!!"
Additionally, in the immortal words of some dude someplace whose line got stolen by Hollywood, "You hate me, 'cause you ain't me."
Oh, Snap! It's @killbilly! Strange that you would post so randomly on "someone else's thread", eh? But maybe it was not random at all... 'Know what I''m saying???
Carry on...

Do it! I'm here. @Boris Badenov is here, too.
Trust me, Fella, @Boris Badenov is gonna be far more insulted than will I. I don't know @Boris Badenov, but I'm a reasonably good reader. From what I've read, @Boris Badenov is gonna be FAR more pissed off than will I.
I'm just here to keep you honest. @Boris Badenov seems to actually LIKE you guys.

So... what you're saying is, you've never before been exposed to a slide rule?
Quite impressive for someone of your distinguished perspicacity.
Ever built a log cabin by hand? Yeah, you utilize (that's a fancy word for "use") a "planimeter". It's just that when you build a log cabin, you call it a "scribe".
Hey kids, ever used a compass? They're SOOOPER cool... and "scientific" and stuff!

I have some real doubts. I have people that actually have been studying it and they cannot believe what they're finding.

Welp, I found my next project.

Yeah, I've bever seen a Bomb Damage Effect Computer before but it is just as impressive.
It's something about the many different things something so simple can do. I guess it was a thing since long ago, and in more ways than one, but it was news to me.
