Yeah,  that'd definitely be a bit more than I'd want to spend too...

I'm not even sure what sizes I have offhand.  I think I got a 14-pin one 
first,  a cheap one I bought someplace in NYC,  I think,  and I figured I 
could move that a pin if I needed to check a 16-pin part.  I'm not sure if I 
carried that same thinking over on the bigger ones offhand,  but I probably 
oughta look and see just what the heck I've got.

I haven't used 'em anywhere near as much as I thought I might,  either,  but 
then I haven't even fired my scope up in ages now,  another thing I oughta 
fix pretty soon,  too.  :-)
