You're dating yourself, RTL man. ;)
I dated my lovely wife for awhile before we married, but I couldn't
imagine dating myself. I'm lousy company.

I have to admit that I really liked working with RTL--since gates
used base-coupled inputs, it was easy using the same gate as either a
logic element or in some analog application.
Yes, I know you can use TTL and CMOS in some analog applications, but
it's not nearly as easy.
I've long thought it interesting that we started with RTL and 3V
supplies, went to DTL and TTL with 6 and 5 volt supplies and are now
back to 3V (although there are many lower-voltage applications).
