[sdiy] EFM News: Argo & 3500 Modulars

[tomg]

I had a 500 piece order canceled. They offered
me NTEs at $1.60 each. I scrapped a complete
series of modules. In my book that's demised. 
RIP 3080.. Dead dead dead!!!! and I don't care.
I've got maybe 90 pieces left and when they are
gone..... well I won't be buying NTEs.. :)

Regards
Tom
