To use CEM or not.

This topic comes up every now and then, so here is an update.

There are *some* CEM chips that are rare, so using them in a new design
makes no sense. AS OF TODAY, this list is:

CEM3310 EG
CEM3330 VCA
CEM3360 VCA
CEM5530 30-ch S&H

Here is the chip I wish I could get rid of, as I have OVER 10,000!!!

CEM3320 Filter/quad OTA

The other chips (yes, NOW including the 3340 VCO) I have OVER 2500 OF EACH
ONE!
After 3 1/2 years of selling these, the 3372 is one of the most bought,
*yet* I've only sold 281.
STILL HAVE 2500 LEFT :)

So, *do not feel sorry or guilty* for buying 10 CEM chips to make a DIY
project. Makes no sense.
