Definitely correct on the younger folks not understanding computers properly by not knowing how they really work at the low levels. I cut my teeth on Z80 assembly back in the day because my father used that glorious micro a lot in his work. I moved into 8031/8051 assembly and wrote all the code by hand in a text editor running on a Morrow Designs MD-11 CP/M machine belonging to my dad. That taught me a lot about being memory efficient, keeping it simple and ultimately that good code came from blood, sweat and tears. I feel like I've gone soft since then as I program in C, C++ and C# these days. I know better but it's all too easy to just write it quick rather than optimized. I program Arduino/ESP-32 projects too just to have the tight memory constraints again and keep me honest. I've been looking at modern scopes lately. I have an older Tektronix 455 analog with on-screen overlays, but it is getting old and failing on me. I can't find a full service manual for that beast so I don't think I will be able to bring it back to life. New digital scopes are weird. They offer a lot of nice features, but they are overly complicated and I would probably just use one in a basic sense and rely on my skills rather than new fangled features. They are priced way better than scopes used to be and the one I am looking at as the top contender is only around $350 for a four channel 50 MHz bandwidth jobber that can be easily hacked to 100 MHz. If you're interested, this is the Rigol DS1054Z and it is widely available. I haven't pulled the trigger on it (no pun intended) yet because I still feel like the Tek 455 is salvageable if I dig around hard enough. I'm probably just deluding myself on it and would probably need a scope anyway just to troubleshoot it properly. Lol!
