I don't know anything about sliderules, always wished i did, but that's awesome.

O god - how wonderful ...

Brings back lots of lovely memories. I was the only person in my class who seemed to get the hang of slide rules and I absolutely loved them. I still have one somewhere ...

The images on that site are beautiful but nothing beats the feel of the slide rule

Not as kinky as it sounds (honest  )

Yeah if they combined that with a force-feedback mouse (is there such a thing?) and some nice wood-slidey noises (*sschhhhhk*) itwould be almost perfect. I don't have a slide rule anymore, but I did pick up a nice hardbound K+E slide rule manual at a second-hand shop that was thicker than the one for my programmable graphing calculator...
