I still have a few...one bamboo and a few plastic. I can use the regular ones, but I have a 4 bar, its just for display.

How quaint. I placed 10th in a competition with one of those in UIL. Back in high school - way back. Wait - don't like the sound of that. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img] I think I still have one somewhere.

I know, I know It's either a real old computer or a fly swatter. Where's my prize?

Looks exactly like the 'knuckle crackers' that the nuns use to keep the kids in line in Catholic school to me. Think 'Blues Brothers" when Jake and Elwood were sitting in the Sister's office in those student desks.....[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]

Wonder if that wins me a ride in Phatfalcon's '62 at Woodward? [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

It's a "slip stick".
Still have my Bamboo Post 1460 Versalog, in the original leather holster. Strap that to your waist, and and you're ready for some heavy duty calulating. Talk about nerd central! [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Yup, got this as a Christmas gift about 1965 from an Air Force engineer. Friend of my mom's. Still have the leather "holster" too.

Well, Jan, I won't be at Woodward this year, but might be at Goodguys Columbus in July. You can have a ticket to ride anytime. If you ever get down south here let me know.

Off topic:

Tom, when did you put the wheels on your '62?
