Nah... I still find it a necessity. I know right away whether it's good or bad. Having the ability to test USB cables is great too. Had a customer fussing with a printer that would detect, but crash during the install. He messed with it for an hour before bringing me the printer and computer. I put the cable on and bang, flakey cable. Threw a new one on and was done. He bought a tester on the spot.
