Scott, you silly person, why not? I do analog design work for a lab where we
work on synthetic hearing and I use 741's all the time. They're cheap,
low-power, easy to debug, robust, and almost idiot proof. For a professional
high-quality audio application, install something better.  But for
prototyping and home use, where crossed leads and power glitches happen
frequently, why not use something a bit more robust? And 1/10 the price?
