I also miss OTAs, but also stuff like LM3900.

OTAs opened up many good design opportunities when they came, but we saw 
only a brief development burst that then essentially stopped. It's not 
that they are particularly hard to do in the basic form, but let's see 
someone do low bias, high impedance, low noise OTAs. :)

I'd be happy to use higher bandwidth OTAs as well.

Cheers,
