Oooh, that brings back memories. I still have my bamboo Pickett.

I also believe learning CAD is much easier if you've come from a T-square background. In fact, up until maybe the late 70's I had a cabled straightedge drafting table after which I graduated to a mechanical drafting arm. Now they're museum pieces as am I.

Scum bags, triangles, compass, circle and ellipse guides, eraser shield, slide rule, I had experience with all of that stuff but I swear NO POCKET PROTECTOR! NEVER!!

The first electric calculator I ever saw was in a physics class in my second year of college. It was the size of a phone book and cost $800 (over $2K in today's money). Where's my Geritol? Any of you whippersnappers even know what Geritol is?
