@Mark, The question is what is so different between say 1982 & 2012? Has the search engine and internet helped anyone change anything? Maybe it allowed you use existing projects to pass exams, but then what? 

Is it me who is stuck or is it you who is stuck?

notseen anyone in the real world pull out log tables for a quick sum.
have you?
