My bottom line is that you can’t replace us and if they did do it with a computer, they would put a bounty on us.

I would personally track down clippy and end it.

I’s like to see an animated paperclip do that.

Now you're talking my language.
Filaments, cathode, control grid, screen grid, suppressor grid, plate, B+, etc, etc.

No, we don’t cover vacuum tubes, except to mention that the early computers used ‘em. We do (briefly) cover how transistors work and also how to build interesting stuff with digital logic.
