[sdiy] Farnell (Arrow too?) just diched the LM13600

[phillip m gallo]

Harry,

Second the motion,  having worked at a variety of firms large and small,
Arrow was only a resource of any significance when the firm was large.
Now Arrow does pay attention to small firms if they provide "design
wins" on technology that is the buzz word of the day but ana-synth is
pretty distant from this characteristic.

Mouser is a good distributor and i have always been pleased with their
service but occasionally they do demonstrate a "wart or two" but they
are a customer oriented site well accustomed to dealing with crazy
midnight hobbyists and maverick designers.

regards,
p

Mouser carries the NJM13600 and 13700... I'd
deal with them.

Arrow etc seem to be in the evil clutches of MBAs
who only want to sell high quantity to cell phone
makers (who don't use the 13600).

Mouser has been an excellent supplier and they get
my business FIRST

as they support small orders VERY well)
