Anyone notice the price drop on all the SX chips as of today?

Time to stock up.

    I thought they where $4.95 before but I could be mistaken. The Parallax site is displaying "SX Chip Price Drop"

    The SX chips we are selling are not the ones we have reserved for our future production.

    We have about 200,000 SX chips available for immediate sale, at reduced prices! We are ready to liquidate this inventory.

    For our BASIC Stamps we have a 20-year supply locked up, which are not for sale.

    The SX-based BASIC Stamps will be able to be manufactured into year 2030. No EOL!

    So the USPS has some competition in the "Forever Stamp" category...?
