        It could be cheaper if u can find any rather than closing your shop waiting for a micro-controller, best way is for consumers to stop buying new stuff unwanted just because apple release a new product or some other manufacturer came up with a new marketing campaign for two to three years... before product manufactures used to bring products out every 6 months...and your model would be outdated...now look at the state ...
