You know, I thought the same way for a while. In my land survey business, I
progressed quickly into using Autocad and total stations with data
collectors, but I never forgot the old ways. I could tape a 10,000 ft. line
through moderate terrain with 1/50,000 accuracy/precision, and close a
traverse with book of log tables and trig tables. Thanks to frequent power
outages around here, and dead batteries, I got to use both. keep the old
technologies alive!
