But a lot of the people here don't; they're purely hobbyists. So spending
$1K on a piece of test equipment just isn't realistic for them.

Having said that, I do see some DSO's on eBay for not much money (e.g. the
little hand-held ones), and those might be a good alternative to a logic
analyzer - I never used one, so I tend not to think of them.

I scored a Rigol DS1102E for $219 last week. It needs two new rotary encoders, but it did pass all the self-tests. Repair parts were under $3.

Some people collect things for a hobby.  Geeks collect hobbies.
