If you are close enough to a neutron bomb to experience the EMP, it is
irrelevant as you will be dead anyway.

That's been about my usual thinking.. I think the whole EMP deal is a wee tad
bit overplayed. Seems to me, if bad enough to toast infrastructure, bad enough
to toast carbon life forms. :| Or at the least, a severe pseudo sunburn..

Heck, a very close lightning strike is a fairly strong EMP event. Sometimes
it causes mayhem, often times not.
I still have old tube rigs if things came to that. But I don't fear for any of
my modern rigs if they aren't hooked up. And I have more than one rig to
increase the odds of one surviving.
