If I'm the 'young lady' referred to in the first post about calculators, then the older gentlemen must be very ancient and venerable mariners indeed.

Or remember your parents' stories of reading the books in the War? There is already one older person writing on this topic (from America).
And I'm afraid the only calculator I ever used was the Casio Fx-39 which I must have left on a heater, melting the battery cover, so it only works with the adaptor now. I did use a slide rule in a play once ...
