Quote:If I ever been ported back to 1966, I would do something with analog computers.My dad ran a small technology company that was started in the 1950's. He swore by analog computers, and insisted that
digital computers would never survive. I always thought there was room for both. As an analogy, think of analog and digital multi-meters.
Digital meters are great for instantaneous measurements, but try to tune a coil to null and it can only be done (properly) with an analog (I still have and use my Tripplet) meter. Actually you can still buy them here.
