You had pencil AND paper? Pure luxury.

When I was your age, we has to team up one person had the paper and the other had the pen and you hoped no one made a mistake because we did not know anyone with an eraser.

But we were thankful.

I have to confess that upon finding my old engineering slide rule from school, I really had no idea how to use it other than for simple multiplication.

Crikey those things were complicated!
