Toughest hombre west of the Pecos?

Please, people! Clint didn't *need* women. Women cramped his style. He took care of number 1 and didn't give a damn what anybody else thought. John Wayne doesn't hold a candle to Clint Eastwood. Aside from 'Stagecoach,' he wasn't even in any quality Westerns. Clint was in the best westerns ever made, and he made one of the best Westerns ever made. (Unforgiven)

oh, and solid state, baby! (although i'm listening to tubes as i type this on my office system)

Richard Boone- Paladin....boy this dates me

Suprised no one mentioned Bronson. He took on whole "hoods" to avenge the wrongs...And he certainly wasn't a pretty boy.

Tubes driving vintage "iron" OPT's

The governor of California, and of course being a cyborg, the Terminator likes solid state!

Jack Palance, freelanced as a vampire when he wasnt doing 1 armed pushups at the age of 80. Definatly a tube dude, prettyboy Robert Conrad 2nd place. Try and knock that battery of his shoulder..hands down solid state dude.
