Maybe they need to learn that the electronics business is an international one, typically. That also means they need to offer their parts through Digikey if they ever want to improve their design-in rates with us. And then, all you see is a guy in a green shirt when going to the site. How professional is that? Next, they IP folks need to go back to the books and learn what the word "latency" means in long distance web traffic. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com

And Phlips Semi was always a laggard in terms of speed. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com
