Hi all
based on the indications that i can read,
 'long lead times', 
  'kings ransom', 
  aluminum doubles in price, 
  PDIP packaging drifting inexorably toward unobtanium pricing,
  even the Davies knobs are getting scarce. 
i'll hazard a guess that Grant has worn several pencils down to the
nub trying to figure out where the line of profitability is. This will
not be easy because, with commodity prices in freefall right now, that
line is very much a moving target. Anyone doing DIY knows that,
nowadays, prices can change from one screen refresh to the next! 
Bottom line: a 300 was always a top shelf item. It cost a lot to build
it in 2001 and it will cost significantly more to do so in 2007.
