Dennis,

You should go work for the NTSB, since you're clairvoyant an accident
causes.

Once all the magic smoke leaks out of those electronic chip thingies, life
is a bitch...


Once something fails, the regulation-mandated back-up kicks in. It doesn't
matter whether that's vacuum, a second battery or whatever else. There's
nothing inherently "better" about steam gauges - except they satisfy
reluctance in the face of progress. We'd still be living on trees if
everybody had that mindset.
