What price sheet you lookin' at??

I can get a 4 MHz ECS xtal HC-49/UA size for $.64 in single piece quantities
from Digi-Key.

A 131.072 KHz Epson (cylindrical) goes for $1.77 each.

Both are thru-hole parts.

I did notice, however, that 1 MHz crystals are INSANELY expensive.  Up to
$17 for an ECS crystal.

Maybe I'll have to use a resonator or even just go to an RC... my timing
requirements are very loose.
