[sdiy] There is no fun analogue chips anymore!.. Analog IC's..

[Richard Wentk]

Arguably that's exactly what happened with analog hardware. 

And don't forget you can always go discrete with analog. (It worked for that Moog guy.)

Although personally I think you can do so much more with DSP so much more quickly that I'm not really feeling any loss.

As for recycled code - if you work in C it's usually fairly portable.
