Agreed! Rick
RICHTER SCALE
Message #129806
RICHTER SCALE OUTDATED It's what you might call a scandal of the first magnitude: the Richter scale, the venerated measure of earthquake size, has disappeared. "There is no such thing as the Richter scale," Thomas Heaton, president of the Seismological Society of America, says flatly. Seismologists acknowledge there's still something…

I would bet that most large high schools, and/or local universities still have the display ones that you are referring to tucked away in some "store room!" Rick
Wow… does that bring back memories .. as both a student and teacher. Actually…stores that sell drafting supplies are still good sources for slide rules. Rick needham/SYSOP

Message #128763
Browsing through catalogs and stores, I'm amazed with the amiga series. I wish to purchase one, but money IS a object. I don't know if I should buy the 500 and a memory expansion card because I'm not sure if it will still have enough memory for the more advanced…
