I'm certainly not going to lose sleep over it. Look at the tiny production
figures (in real world terms) for Arp synthesizers. In general you can still
find parts one way or the other, especially if you are willing to spend a few
dollars. With something like the Sid, where it is a part out of a Commodore
64, it shouldn't be a problem for a long, long time. Go around to garage
sales and Salvation Army stores and pick up a couple of Commodore 64's for
$10 each.

By the way, didn't someone on the list offer to sell some of the Sid chips?
