So I'm stealing this from jonquil because it's really interesting.

So. What -- apart from courses that were required for your major or profession and loathed at the time -- were you taught to do that is now obsolete or forgotten?

How about me?

* I don't suppose I will ever cut a stencil for a Roneograph again.

* I have a slide rule and both four figure and statistical tables and I know how to use them.

* I am a dab hand with a topo map and compass. This may not be quite obsolete but I suspect GPS will be all but universal within a few years.

* I can strip and clean a carburettor.

* I can do all sorts of odd repairs to obsolete fountain pens.

* I used to be able to develop film and make prints.

* I can splice audiotape.

How about you?
