It goes away FAST. I was working on a bedroom system for a friend. She's broke so I've mostly been using Craigslist and my cast-off hand-me downs. Everything was cool until I needed a longish (about 6 feet long) Component Video Cable. Try as I might I couldn't find one in any of the usual haunts. Wally World, Home Despot, Rat Shack.... none of em had ANY Component cabling left AT ALL. When they switched over ot HDMI I guess they all went in feet first. I had to go 12 miles out of my way ot Best Buy before I finally found a set and it was too short. I finally had to bust down and order one online.

The moral to this story is I was here in Component came in and I'm here to see it go away... who knew it would be sooo fast.
