Oh NO! :) I meant SOME discrete logic, not a ton of it.. When I had to
do designs for the 6502 and 6800 for school, I used discrete logic as a
crutch so I didnt have to sit there all stinking day keying in ASM on a
numerical keypad! God that SUX! 
It was just easier to do some things with discrete logic rather than
debug a routine forever... looking only at numbers for 4-5 hrs makes you
lose your sanity..Now was I using index or relative addressing? uh oh...
