The problem, WB, is that we are old enough to remember watches that wind.
Most of our students have never seen one.

I was doing a ground school once and mentioned a "slide rule" and one of the kids piped up "What's a slide rule?" And before I could answer another kid said, "It was this old calculating thing - kinda like an abacus". We really are old.
