It requires a slideruler with a logarithmic scale (it scales very well on these devices). Sliderules can be clustered together for greater power. A slideruler with Ham95 can be used in complex string theory and is used by rocket scientists everywhere.
Copies of Ham95 will be distributed on paper stickers, and download demand is currently exceeding server capacity.

old joke: how many linux programmers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Answer: ninety. One to roll the filament, one to blow the glass, one to reconfigure the socket, and ninety-two to complain how Bill Gates has ruined things for everyone.
