So I am trying to pack my car for a cross-country move to Berkeley, CA.  

Every square inch I can spare will make this easier, so I am pondering my 
big 1009mhz 5 channel scope.  I love it, but it is taking up a lot of 
space, and I don't trust UPS to deliver it.  Plus it will cost more to 
ship than I paid for the thing.

I was pondering leaving it, and buying a PC-based one once I was settled 
in, thinking they would be cheaper.. but I see prices around $400 or so
for the low level stuff and thats way too much.

So... is there a nice $100 pc-based scope, or think I can replace mine for 
about that price in Berkeley?  Or should I bring it?  I hate the idea of 
buying something I own, even if it IS cheaper than trying to move it.

I wish I could just ship my entire hobby out there, but too much of it is 
delicate and easily breakable and I have had too many packages trashed by 
UPS, not to mention movers.  (Last time I used movers they lost my bicycle 
and completeley smashed this REALLY nice autotransformer.)

Ugh.  Having a good collection of parts and tools is great until you have 
to move it long distances in a small car.
