[sdiy] Sadness, 2SC3381 go bye bye

Ouch!!  Just had the same experience with Electronix on some other trannies.
Wish these companies would not advertise if they ain't got it.  Normally,
I've had very good luck with Electronix.

A very good company to deal with is Bluestar Online.  They have it.... but
at $5.99 apiece, which kind of defeats the purpose in my book:

Another good company is MCMinone.  Though they're part of the Newark/Farnell
thing, they don't exhibit the same industrial snobbery I've come to expect
from Newark.

Alas, out of stock, but these people often *do* pull stuff out of their
lower anterior orifice.  67 day lead, but good prices.  Maybe check'em out,
might have some 2SC3381's for next semester?
