Do you hate blue resistors?

unknownparticle:
Stuff all this modern rubbish, carbon film, metal film, metal oxide, whatever. Lets go back to good old 2" long solid carbon resistors with body, tip and spot colour coding, those were the days!!
free_electron:
color code is so 1950's.

So am I.    ;D
dbctronic:
Those of us getting a bit long in the tooth also don't appreciate the fact that metal film resistor bands are so thin! That certainly doesn't help, in combination with the color contrast issues mentioned above.
But I like quality, precision, and dependability, so I try not to grumble too much. Metal film units have served me well over the years.
Yepper, keep El Senor Ohmmeter handy...  \$\Omega\$?  \$\Omega\$?  \$\Omega\$?

BTW, in reply to an earlier post, why would anyone want to identify a roasted resistor, anyway?  :-//

Replace a resistor in a non-working equipment?  :-//
