If slide rules are outlawed, then only outlaws will have slide rules.

When I entered engineering school in Fall 1969, it was a right of passage to buy one's first slide rule, just like a Wizard in Training buying his first Wand before enrolling in Hogwarts. I have owned a full-size Post Vesalog for 42 years (when I entered engineering school), and I also own a half-size Post Versalog and a full-size Post Trig slide rule.
