Well, I ordered some parts last night. We'll see how dangerous I can be once I get them. I saw that some components were marked with an * signifying that they have limited stock. Anything that I ordered didn't indicate that, so let's hope they have good inventory. The $20 minimum order sure wasn't hard to reach. They've got all kinds of goodies. As far as the discontinuing, I read somewhere the other day that US based chip manufacturers have begun to stop production of certain lines rather than compete with the Asian market. Who knows, but that sounds as good as anything.
