IMO, having a chip and having the story that goes with it, is what the hobby is all about. Otherwise they are only little pieces of clay.

There are a million chip stories in our hobby. The guys that go out and really dig for chips have great stories to tell. I am amazed at some of the stories. James C, Steve P, Doug S, and many more have the NV stories we all would like to hear. Someday maybe someone will have the time to put them all together.
