I remember the hype around the TDS-220, but this Rigol one is just nuts in comparison. I bought one of the TDS-220 ones when it was released and was amazed at what they did. It too had some teething problems. I think it was a ground strap or something.
Anyway I will use this scope but do I really need it? No, but I really want to try it out and that means it must sit on the bench.
I hope Rigol does really well with it and that will encourage more to follow suit.
Someone is going to have to come up with a "good" name for the hype Rigolmania 1054Zombies or some other stupid phrase.
