Using a 2014 is like getting licked by puppies while having your
feet rubbed and eating ice cream (assuming you're a foot-weary
animal-loving non-lactose intolerant type).

While I'll admit I'm not exactly a seasoned veteran of electronics,
nor have I spent hundreds of hours working with dozens of types
of scopes, I absolutely adore the 2014.  It has FFT capabilities, so
while it doesn't replace a good spectrum analyzer, for a small lab
like mine where a spectrum analyzer would be an unnecessary
luxury it is an invaluable tool.

My favorite little feature is the color-coded channels, with matching
color clips for each end of the probe cords.
