Absolutely!
As a new diver you should not have any need for a dive computer. Tables will serve you will for any diving you are likely to be doing, with one caveat...
If you are heading out on that big dive trip with lots of repetetive diving, day after day you will want a computer to maximize your vacation dollar. The alternative will be very restrictive table diving.
I'm at 79 dives, all analaog and have not missed having a computer. Most of what we do around here does not even tease the NDL. The times when we saw the posibility we planned with tables. We have a dive trip coming up and I expact to own computers for my wife and I by then. If I can't make up my mind by then renting is the fallback. I have no intentions of giving up my analog gauges meanwhile. Analog gauges offer reliability that underwater electronics cannot come close to.
