I was talking to another 60 year old today about the lost pleasure of analog design with pencil and drafting template on vellum. Those were the days.

Yep. I am 64 and remember well doing analog and digital design on vellum or paper with my templates, drawing pencil and drafting machine.

While it is nostalgic, I grind my teeth thinking of the wasted time I could have made use of with a PC!

I wonder if anyone can do analog design anymore?
