Sir:
I was there for that meeting. Some of the stupidest questions I ever heard were asked that day.
This decision to drop it was made about two or three years ago.
I agree that I liked having that capability, but it was decided that the time was better spent learning about computers and modern electronics.
Plus, as you know, it was a significant attrition point, even after dropping the standard to 15/15 GPM.
