I've dealt with Cheech & Chong Co. and IMHO Cheech is a very respectable
dealer.  Very laid back, almost to the point of comatose.  Anyway don't
believe those prices advertised, the going rate for magic blue smoke (MBS)
is actually quite high right now (2 - 3 x the advertised price on sparkfun).
I bet you sparkfun is mixing theirs with some other substance and selling
them as pure MBS.

Ahh, from what I read your investments in tetra-grammatron phase inductance 
focusing screen may up in smoke.

But good luck --glen

tetra-grammatron phase inductance focusing screen (TGPIFS for short)
 Through a proprietary procedure using our inverse tetra-grammatron phase 
inductance focusing screen (TGPIFS for short), we were able to easily resurrect 
any IC reliably. Simply place the phase ring of the TGPIFS directly over your 
IC, inject your smoke, and you're done!

Since you work at a school of Pharmacy I suppose you have consulted the
pharmacologist on this.


And with his approval someone wil be smoking something.

They had this on NatGeo TV didn't they?  Weren't they seeing jaguars all
night and dancing around a fire?
