Margin on A2DVI has been cut by about 1/2, but I can eat it because the margin was solid.
ImageScribbler boards though: The price goes up, period. If I don't, I'll lose a few dollars per board.
Why? Something that used to cost $1.00 now costs $2.45 because "POTUS".

As I continue to hear about more and more cool projects being canceled and friends facing trying times due to our chief executive's petty brinksmanship, I wonder how long before the "no politics" people will be forced to finally realize that politics do affect our hobby?
Shabby politics doubly so.
