Heh, a lot of "new" stuff is designed to be discarded. On test equipment
mailing lists and sites I see a lot of young whippersnappers who don't
understand why they can't get service information for their late-model
digital oscilloscopes, and who don't understand that those late-model
'scopes were never intended for field repair. If those 'scopes break you
pay big bux for the factory to fix them ---IF--- the factory still
supports them. If they are not supported you throw them away and replace
them. Those young whippersnappers look down their noses at my analog
Tektronix and HP 'scopes, but my analog 'scopes do what I need them to
do, they do it very well, and if they break I can fix them. I use a lot
of vintage Tek, HP, and GR instruments for work and hobbies. I'm just an
old guy who likes stuff that can be fixed. That, of course, doesn't stop
me from buying new to get capabilities that I want, thus the K-70 (and I
don't drive a '60s car).
