Ha, good point. I often wonder how far tubes could have gone had it not been for the transistor. I read an article once that talked about how companies were starting to incorporate other devices inside the bottle as well, to make a "packaged" deal. I guess things like caps and resistors, but that sounded more like a marketing ploy to me. You would have to buy the certain part from whoever.
