Ab-so-tively Charles!

If you've read any of my posts in the past, you know that I work for a
start-up company. At start-ups, I've got to justify every stinkin' tool I buy
to the "Nth" degree! Most of the jobs we do at present isn't at the volume
where I can amortize the expense of these tools over the life of the
contract, because it's just kits here and kits there....a lotta piece-meal
work.

So what I buy, I plan on using on something else down the road, at least
until we get rich and famous, or the place folds up and closes it's
doors...(which happens a lot in "silly-con" valley, those of you that have
worked in this valley know what I mean!)

But from the feedback I've recieved, seems like air is the way to
go...reaffirms my gut feelings in  the beginning. Thanks guys! I love this
forum! Have a chance to bounce things off ya'll and make sound decisions!
