There are several other sources for these sockets, such as Emulation
Technology.  Microchip's prices are WAAAY lower than any of the other
sources, like about 1/3 or less of their prices.

If you find ones at lower prices that Microchip's, I'd like to know about
it.

For an Atmel-based project in a TQFP-44 package, I would up paying nearly
$300 for a transition socket.  Since their pinout was odd, I wasn't able to
substitute the Microchip socket.
