[Elecraft] obselete?

[Charles Harpole]

someone said:  "good cw rigs...  since that's an obsolete mode, it's like 
shoes with button hooks. "

Of course, he doesn't mean it and here is the story:

There is no "obsolete" in ham radio, just as there is no "obsolete" in 
collecting and driving Model T cars, or using a wind-up clock, or the like.  
Ham radio must come to terms with the fact that it is a hobby, no longer 
cutting edge technology (for the vast most part) which few of us could 
afford anyway if we could obtain it.

The FUN of ham radio is making things work... CW or tube radios, or whatever 
and thus "obsolete" is out of the picture.  I owns classic Collins because I 
love to look at it.
