Eric,

I did find the Brian Wilson pic a humorous touch. As for the market decline, yea, I too cringe at some of the prices I paid in the past and do see a buying opportunity in the present. Although, I do worry about the future.

I can appreciate your point of view and do agree that if someone is truly worried about the "potential profit" of chip purchases, this may in fact not be the hobby for them. Hopefully, the newcomers will learn that the market is fickle and enjoy the aesthetic value of the hobby before the financial side pushes them out. Thanks for the the reply and the discussion.

Sean
