Still have my K&E mahogany/ivory slide rule I used in high school & college, but I got rid of my HP-35 RPN calculator I got midway through college years ago, so I guess you got me there :)

I have to confess that this isn't the original slide-rule from 1964 - that got lost in an office move in 1980 - this is a replacement bought on ebay, but it is the same Faber Castell 1787 in a better case ! The HP is a 12C bought for financial work. The HP-35 wasn't around when I needed it for Engineering School.
