> I used to order from this company quite a bit - their packaging of resistors
and IC's is nothing short of awesome.  However, at some point along the line, it
seemed that they started gearing more for OEM type of stuff, and I got the
impression that my pesky nuisance orders weren't entirely welcome.  I still get
their (huge) catalogs, but their prices don't strike me as being as good as they
once were.  Maybe just my imagination, but, anyway, I really haven't *needed*
them for quite a while.

Not your imagination! They used to be my prime source also. They seemed to carry
everything. I got the same impression of them being not really interested in
small orders also. Their shipping and handling charges had seemed to drift up.
Most of my business has moved to Mouser and what Mouser doesn't carry, I try to
get as a sample.
