    Indeed. From decades ago I remember an anecdote about a professor who never missed an opportunity to show how slide rules were superior to logarithmic tables - and how in the middle of one complicated calculation he demonstrated to his students that 3*4 = 11.98 :-)

    But there's more to it. Slide rules are non-trivial to use. Any potential slide rule user has to study the device, learn how to use it, experiment, and test out the skill. This is not a replacement for a calculator. It's far more difficult.
