Yesterday morning I awoke from a very vivid dream, in which I had invented... the Slide Rule Drawer.
This is an extending drawer, OK?

Something in my subconscious clearly connected this with a slide rule, because my dream very clearly featured something like this:

This would be a brilliant idea, with only two drawbacks (or should that be drawerbacks?):
- Electronic calculators were invented over 40 years ago.
- Even if they hadn't been, a slide rule you can remove from your desk drawer is rather more convenient than one glued to the side of it.
