I'm sure it was all much harder in your day!!
Times change.
Accept it and move on.
Aeroplanes were harder to fly years ago (not the case now, which is as you would expect after Billions spent on making them easier!) but I would argue that modern aircraft are just as taxing to operate.

PS. BEagle, for once it would be nice if you could also accept that we have moved on slightly since your day. For better or worse! Jehovah.
