A fatal attitude to progressing with useful projects in
the mean time!

I had this approach to a number of things until someone
pointed out to me that the most expensive and luxurious
item that is already in your junk box is much, much
cheaper than the shoddiest thing you can buy!

Now, if it's to hand, and will do the job, I use
it and move on.

For example, I had a 28MHz 2-ele beam that was in
its original packing for many years - then the aluminiium
tube got used to make the legs of a clock-testing horse
last year.
