Post by Gerard SchildbergerPost by Gareth EvansThat's been said several times before but today I became
aware of the ESP32 for only £7 / $7
How things have changed since the days of my slide rule
in school mathematics in 1969 ! ! ! !
You had slide rules ?!?!
We had to use rocks. To get fractions, ya had to break a rock with
another rock. We would've used ink and paper, but the geese flew
south, so ... no quills. Besides, the ink was frozen solid.

Actually, in the 6th form when doing our specialist 'A' levels
(Double Maths and Physics in my case) we were required to do
General Studies to broaden our minds, but I, as the
prototypical nerd (no personal computers back in 1969 !)
had no interest in politics, etc, so I got a rain check
from it by mending the school calculating machines (Odhner
type) once per week, that the juniorer children had managed to
jam up.
