But Marcia would not approve!

What are you people talking about? What is a manual slide, aside from a 1950s computing device?

You go Max !" Dance like no on is watching " !!!!!

Probably 1972 or ’73 I had a manual slide rule.

It’s a word play on the dance “Electric Slide” http://www.wikihow.com/Do-the-Electric-Slide

I might even remember how to use one,,,,if I could find it.

Thanks, SunflowerGirl100.

And you’re right, jreckard. I switched to one of those new electronic calculators in the mid-1970s.

Good one, JJ! Reminds me of a funny opening scene from Steve Martin’s 1970’s TV Special…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXPWZlQXB0U

I still have my Pickett, as well. The TI SR-10 and SR-11 pocket calculators came out when I was in high school, but almost no one in my school could afford one.
