Overall, there's great advantage in keeping the earlier and simpler technology

around, even if only among a limited set of enthusiasts.  Not so much for the tech,

but for the people.  In tough times or disasters, the folks who know how to get it

done with minimal bells and whistles, come in mighty handy. 

With a simpler machine, you can get into a pinch more easily, but this requires

you to understand the situation more deeply than the push-one-button machine.

 

However, I'm not practicing what I preach!  This picture was done in P6,

to take advantage of the Weave node!
