[TheForge] Anyone own one of these? Opinions?

Tue Jan 7 16:32:01 2003

I am sold on getting a auto darkening
helmet. I am just caught on the price
/quality issue. I am wondering if it is
one of these technology driven price
decreases like computers.

I know that right now I can buy a
computer several times better than the
one that I am using for about 1/4 the
price that I paid.

Just about the time that I have myself
talked into one of the pricey ones I get
the HF sale email and I start to wonder.
