"It's the last one I'll buy" My wife has heard that a number of times!
Ps - I think someone put a mic in my house and then put a video to it
That's exactly what I was thinking - that was MY voice and the guy in the video was just lip syncing.
But it could have just as easily been: SOFTWARE updates, guitar amps, stomp boxes, synths/keyboards, rifles & "glass", and a few esoteric hobbies like slide rule collecting.

I sneak gear into the house when she's not looking which is kind of complicated, but she always seems to find out eventually. It's like she knows every cardboard box even in the chaos of my office. Creepy. Sometimes I'll pack it in with old stuff but she'll still find it (sigh). She has a policy of matching my purchases with anything she wants that costs about the same, so I have to factor that in before purchasing anything. Haven't bought anything big for a while now, but I'm wondering if I can get the a Zoom Q8 Video Camera on the basis that my 11 year old daughter must have it for movie making purposes (lol).

Oh yea, I hear you!
Slide rules? Are you as old as I am? I used to use them. Actually I made a paper slide rule for transposing songs. My students really liked it.
I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

Yep learned early, around Jr. High time (at that time JH started at 7th grade in state of PA.) long before it was REQUIRED to learn for High School chem. and physics.
Got through USAF tech school (Keesler AFB - avionics) with it as well.
But by time I started taking college classes (still an enlisted puke but NCO by then (TSGT) like 10 years later) I used early HP-25 then TI-59 programmable calculators.
Later yet, as a now Officer puke (1LT) working on Masters at AFIT ALL I needed, besides a basic calculator with binary/octal/hex functions for arithmetic, as a "high order computational device" was an early PC. Some guys used Osborne's and that ilk - I was still paying off bills from being enlisted so all I could afford then was a Radio Shack Color Computer and that was mainly for writing/printing papers and thesis.
Funny thing about studying mathematics - almost nothing you take requires anything more than ability to do very basic arithmetic becasue it's mainly symbol based and abstract concepts (Calc. 1,2,3,.. Diff EQ., trig, real & complex analyses, topology, abstract algebra(s), non-Euclidean geometry, linear programming, probability & statistics, game theory, etc.)
I still LIKE to use a slip stick and collect them it helps keep mind sharp re: logs, trig functions, relationships between logs & trig and other transcendental functions, orders of magnitude, decimal place keeping, etc.) - and there were places I worked that a slip stick was the only legal (i.e., non-electronic) computational device available.
(my collection is not anywhere near this large - I only a have a few hundred - look in Dietzgen to see two of mine)

Yep. I hated math in school. Of course that was before calculators became the inexpensive things they are today. And the teachers wouldn't even consider letting you do anything the easy way.
So.... after a stint in the military, I used the GI bill for some higher education and to avoid having to get a job immediately. I enrolled in some electrical and electronic courses. The first day in the class, the instructor told us that if we didn't already have a 10 digit scientific calculator we should go out tonight and buy one. He said he didn't care if we didn't know how to add or subtract, multiply or divide, the calculator would do the busy work for us. But to get the correct answer using the formulas we would need the calculator so we didn't have to work it out by hand.
In spite of the fact that I hated math in HS and barely passed the basic math classes needed for graduation, I was one of the top 3 math whizzes in that class. I could understand the formulas and "see" the relationships as a result.
A side note... I said I was in the top 3..... one of the others was a red headed guy from Jamaica. I forget his name, but this guy was faster with a pencil and a piece of scratch paper then most of us were with the calculators. He did have a calculator but often just did it on paper and didn't have the calculator's rounding margin of error that we did in the final answers.
We had a teacher who taught us electronics and of course also our labs, which were essentially math classes. (Math being anything related to the course of study for the day or week) Some of that stuff was mind boggling even with the calculator. We'd walk out totally dazed and confused. Then we'd go to the dedicated "math" class which was taught by a different math teacher. We would discuss some of the things we did in lab and quite often he would show us a different and an easier way to get the correct answer. That was a fun course.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
A few years before he passed away, I became a friend of the science fiction writer Isaac Asimov and went out to lunch with him several times and also interviewed him. Asimov had a Ph.D in Chemistry from Columbia and may be the most prolific book writer in history (more than 500 though the exact number is debated.) His tools were an IBM Selectric typewriter and a battered Army issue desk with two sets of filing cabinets.
I asked him at his apartment one afternoon what his explanation was (at his age) for such a prodigious outpouring of work throughout his life, still continuing in the present day.
To which he answered, simply:
"I still use a slide rule."

That's too funny... Also amazing that you got to meet and get to know Asimov!!! One of the 20th century greats, for sure.
I know I've read most of Asimov's work (non-fiction as well as obvious SciFi). He could explain things in lay terms on almost any subject (general science, astronomy, physics, chemistry, math, slide rules, electronics, …). While politically we'd have never agreed on much - I would have loved to sat and talked with him.
BTW one of the books he wrote was on slide rules: "An Easy Introduction to the Slide Rule" and collectors have driven cost absurdly high.
That picture looks like a K&E 4035, a Mannheim type slide rule - scale layout: A/B C/D.
Einstein used a slightly "more complex" Nester 23R a Rietz (simplex) design with same A/B C/D but with an additional inverted C scale (CI) on one side of slide, and the sin (s) and tangent (T) and small angle S&T scale (for very small angles the sin and tangent are essentially the same value) on reverse side of slide - you take slide out and flip it over to do trig work. There are some physical constants printed on back of SR body: e.g., Boltzman's constant, Avogadro's number, Faraday constant…
It also had a "rule" along top edge, technically it is a "scale" not a ruler. Ask any mechanical drawing instructor or design engineer they HATE the word ruler - it's a scale!
But then again Albert wouldn't have needed a slide rule very often anyway since, he was doing theoretical math and physics (again "symbolic" work) - not actually doing many computations with NUMBERS.
Wernher von Braun, on the other hand, used a little more complex SR becasue HE DID need to do math computations.
His was a Nestler Nr37 Electro. It had same scales as above but also V (volts), KW and PS scales (kilowatts and HP but here it was PS or in German Pferde-stärke - actually KW & PS are not "scales" but marks on the A/B scales and extra cursor lines on cursor face to read off values on C scales), K (cubes) and finally log scales: L (base 10) and the combined LL2 and LL3 (base e) - that extends C scale from 1.1 to 10**5.

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
