[sdiy] Futurlec for parts...

[Tim Heffield]

It's interesting that their web sight shows ph #s for several offices
overseas but only a fax number for the US.  Maybe I am  just spoiled with
Mouser and Digikey since their confirmation and shipment is almost imediate.
I was hoping that someone would tell me that they are slow but reputable.  I
noticed that they already charged my credit card even though they haven't
begun to ship the order.  Some of their prices seemed almost too good to be
true.  I'll wait it out for another week or so I guess.

if you cant fax them, it never hurts to do a whois check online, and if any
phone numbers are listed for the company or owners, then you could give that
a shot if you haven't gotten any response.
