Wooo boy. I used to work with guys like that, back in the '80s. They
didn't trust us kids who were looking at a computer screen, instead of
writing the newspaper draws on clear plastic sheets with a grease
pencil. After all, it had worked for them for 50 years....
Well, at KBED looking at the DBRITE isn't all that useful given the radar
coverage, especially to the southwest.
btw - these controllers were all years younger than we are, hardly old
farts set in their ways (I know, I know, I'm repeating myself).
