Long term, yes, today, no.
Depends on what you think "today" is :) I'm old enough to see way many things change -- when i started hacking, computers with no ICs in them were still quite useful.
Please, sir, do not remind me of even earlier things...such as the machines, admittedly shoved in a corner somewhere, that were still running legacy applications without _transistors_. I still have a soft spot in my heart for vacuum tubes. Diagnosis is so much easier when you can look for the tube that isn't glowing. Howard
