<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hi all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>recently i placed an RFQ with a chip supplier and
to my surprise they actually got back to me.(i have sent many RFQ's to many co's
and never recieved a reply).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>then things went pair shaped.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the price was high( 57.00 ea), but when you need it
you pay for it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>all i required was 3, but that fell short of thier
$500 min order.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>that was that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>where the fuck do these chips end up?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>do they sit on a shelf until some bean counter
say's" throw them in the trash"?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in my case they would have gotten $US 171.00 for
putting 3x ic's in a small parcel and charged me shipping.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>go figure.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>regards</FONT></DIV>
