My day Job IS ASIC layout so I do know what that stuff costs!! And the mask costs, eeeou! For personal use I try and get away with the free FPGA stuff, which works out nicely since I can't afford the chips that need the expensive software. I just stick around the bottom feeding end of FPGAs. $12 parts I can afford, $600 ones are out of my range if it comes out of my own pocket.
