Too funny. Nowadays most ACAD users utilize about 2% of the functionality of the program. I've done a number of scripts and AutoLisp routines in my time too. Most people wouldn't even know what those were if I asked them about it. 90% of the time, you're using one of about the same 10 or 15 commands.

I remember those tablets. I even still have one, but it's been a long time since I've used it. Instead of digitizing hand drawings and sketches now, it's easier to simply scan them in, then import the .jpg file and trace over it. But I remember those giant digitizing tables. . .

Trying go teach myself Revit right now, but very little time makes it slow-going. What I've learned so far, I like however.
