    Good point. Kinda like the animators at animation studios that refused to move to the computer for their work, where are they all now? As technology progresses, people eother adapt or get left behind.

      I’m actually somewhat sympathetic to those guys, at least because an older relative of mine was a skilled mechanical engineer who simply could not make the transition from pencil-and-paper drafting to CAD software despite trying very hard. He had the common “old people have difficulty using computers” problem despite actually having a great deal of interest in the new technology.

      With that said, he was out of a job whether or not he deserved that.
