Not sure if this is still the case, but, while the sale of it was
prohibited to individuals, companies could still buy it from
mail-order electronics supply places. To get it all one need(ed)(s)
is/was to manufacture a company name (e.g., like one does to get into
an electronics trade show and get those free pit-beef sandwitches,
etc. along with lots of freebies like samples and databooks), or, if
they want a federal ID number, just start a corporation and do nothing
with it but use it to make it easier to buy things from the bizdroids
that don't like to sell to individuals. :-) :-) :-)
There's more than one way to skin a bureaucrat!
