<DIV><SPAN class=545151014-04102021></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545151014-04102021>I'm in the market for various ICs, and a
recent visit to Octopart.com suggested that I could buy directly from Texas
Instruments. Looking at their website, it would appear as if their prices
are very competitive with the lowest prices I'm finding anywhere
else.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545151014-04102021></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545151014-04102021>I'm just wondering, have any of you ever
ordered directly from TI, and if so, was it a good experience?</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545151014-04102021></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545151014-04102021>Cheers,</SPAN></DIV>
