WOW!!!  I haven't seen a logrithem table since high school.  I graduated
in 67.  Plus they are big.  It's a lot easier to spend $10 for a scientific
calculator, or take the numbers back to you computer (unless you have a 
lap top) and use the calculator provided in windows (just set it to
scientific).

In fact, most people at my office didn't know what a CRC table book was!
