Do you think AutoElectric will still be around in that time frame? Good support from a good company costs money. They might manufacture in china, and have a small group in Korea, but there are a lot of American workers. Xeltek is an American company paying American wages. And that was just for EPROM's, let alone all the other devices available today.
It's takes a LOT of effort to support programmers, I know, I used to do it in a small way selling my own EPROM programmer software.
