The hacking and vintage computing hobby has grown, not shrank.  There are
difficulties getting parts overseas.  Is there not enough market in the us
for parts suppliers?  Or is it that we're continuing to see consolidation
due to amazon and Alibaba?  So let's say the market is at least
steady...should we be blaming ourselves for using amazon?
