It is an engineer oriented book, so a fair amount went over the heads of the technician oriented students, but was valuable nonetheless. In a recent Bob's Mailbox, he really got after someone for suggesting a microcontroller solution to a problem (detecting frozen toes). He really doesn't like digital! I think there's an appropriate place for both analog and digital. To me, too many analog designs use "brute force engineering" where they keep throwing parts at the circuit until it works.
