Yes, have a look at GigaProbes (http://gigaprobes.com/) although they
are meant for 50-ohm systems--not exactly what you are asking but
thought I'd toss them out there.

I know about the Agilent and Tek probes, and yes to update to the latest
and greatest I need to do a little homework.  However...

Mostly I'm wondering if any of you have run across other vendors out
there making interesting probe products.
