RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: PIC DRO Dreaming / how about $99 ?

Apparently all Circuit City stores are out of them. I wonder if the next
batch that comes in might have the IDE pinout removed. That linux-hacker
site has had over six thousand hits in the last three hours. When a guy
with thick glasses, shirt pocket protector and Nike's walks into a Circuit
City and buys 10 of these things it's bound to arouse suspicion. Maybe I
should leave the pocket protector in the Yugo .....
