(snip) ================================================================= Kyle, I think that's a good analogy. Vacuum tube (a.k.a. valve) technology was a dead end, to which solid state technology owes little. Film technology may one day be seen in the same light, vis-a-vis digital technology. Sad but, I'm afraid to say, true. I will be an unwilling user of digital, if I'm ever forced down that track, but I daresay I'll get over it.
