Me too. Rarely buy anything new for that reason, and for the 
"depreciation hit" (ie, what it costs to drive a new car off the

what with the popularity of "all things 'i' "

Ha! I know what you mean. I'm not quite there, but I can appreciate 
your "habit". I'm looking into a PCB mill (do-it-myself).
