I have the Construction Master Plus EZ and it comes in handy for adding and subtracting fractions. I’ve use some of the other functions but so rarely I have to figure out how to use them.
When I need to do trig functions I use a scientific calculator for that.

When I went to electronics school in 1974 we used slide rules.

You guys are good, wish I still had mine.

Roofner, great to here from a fellow electronic technician

I never went to those shows, I was too busy playing sports back then. My coworker friends love those kind of things.

I worked for a year at Dictaphone right out of school then went to work for Bendix Kansas City in the Defense Department's Aerospace Industry's Nuclear Weapons division.
I started out building Test Equipment then repair and calibration of test equipment for my whole 41 year career. The last 16 years I mostly worked on oscilloscopes and
multimeters. I retired in 2018.

You are right on with the calculators coming in and just as I was in school (graduating Sept, 1975). My first calculator was a TI30. All test taken in school we had to use the slide rule and I though
it was really fun, and a race indeed with my classmates. But the calculator, wow!
