Newer equals better and older equals obsolete. . .sounds to me like the same
way society has been conditioned to perceive its aging populace. Of course,
what else would one expect from a "throw away/use it and loose it" culture?


For instance, DSC's have to be better
than setting circles, right?

"Faster" would be more correct than "better."


Naglers, Panoptics, and Radians have to be
better than Orthoscopics, right?

Different, yes; Better, no. Each has their own strengths.


Nobody would want to star-hop when they can
have GPS GoTo, right?

There are times when I star-hop and there are times when I use my digital
setting circles and I would bet there are many others who also do both.
