[sdiy] selecting a semiconductor manufacturer

[James Patchell]

Mouser and Digikey is where I order about 90% of my parts from...with 
Newark and others filling in the other 10%.  They are roughly 
equivalent...if I am feeling poor...I will have them both up at the same 
time and purchase parts from the least expensive one...although, in 
general...Mouser seems to be a bit lower than Digikey...in general (but not 
all the time).
