[sdiy] Chip prices today and what about tomorrow?

[geoff james]

senso
is that all. 
the bastards don't even respond to most of my RFQ's.
and when they do i usually get prices that require a second mortgage.
you lucky soul ,  the prices you have been quoted are all under $30 .
i think most americans don't know where australia is.
i hope this makes you feel a little better.
regards
geoff james( still looking for the elusive MF7104)
