Impressive. Much more impressive than my 705 page 1972 20th edition CRC Standard Math Tables. It looks like it is time for me to join th 21st century.

D H: You are 10 years closer to the 21st century than I. My CRC was published in 1962

Dang! I take it that you truly are a dinosaur, Dinosaur.

D H: I call myself Dinosaur because I actually used slide rules & mechanical desk calculators. I do not claim to be a reptile-like creature weighing many tons.

While slide rules were still being used, I did programming in numeric machine language. The first Assembler was viewed as a marvelous time saver for programmers.

Some of us might have been willing to sacrifice a first born son for Visual Basic 6.0 and/or Visual Basic .net

Dinosaur:

I am well aware of the meaning of dinosaur, being on the verge of being one myself. I too have a slide rule.
