You're not going to convince even one of us to abandon all our newer stuff and return to the good old days. It's not what we like.
What's interesting is that the tech lovers don't call those who love the old stuff luddites, and definitely don't belittle the old stuff because we wouldn't be here if the hobby hadn't started there.
Now on the other hand 2-Railers frequently look down with disdain on the 3-Rail crowd. This I understand in some way. The magic of realism that 2-Railers strive for, and often achieve, is frequently quite stunning compared to what most 3-Railers can do (with the exception of 3RS).
By the way, our 'new technology' that you have a problem with is almost 30 years old now. It's definitely not high tech anymore and in many ways is simple compared to what is really high tech in today's world.
In the end we're not asking you to step into the 21st century. Why are you so insistent that we all should consider stepping backward because life is so much easier there in your opinion?
