I imagine back in 1975 a bunch of coin-op guys got together and discussed how much they hated the new solid state's with their fancy electronic displays.....certainly it took something away from the art of the 60's and before. Flash forward about 15 years and the same guys are discussing the new dot-matrix displays and how much they prefer the old ones........ now here we go again.
Someone will always not like something new, it's our nature. Nothing wrong with it, it's just a personal preference.
In 10 or 20 years we will be bitching about the new hologram displays. The circle of life!
