The breadboard deal looks good, the little power supply is handy, and I tend to use a lot of breadboards, leave circuits on them for reference. I get my sound cards from the same guy, no avoiding the $5 each cost, wish I could. Looks like I'm going to need that 14 pin PICAXE, where's the best deals on them? If I make one, I usually make extras for a friend in Australia and I have members on http://www.modeltrainforum.com/search.php?searchid=1123905 that seem interested.
