Why don't you find some HVAC group, or some scat-lover rectal play
group, to annoy? Your coarse brand of humor, and your brand of
technical expertise, might be more appropriate there.

Why don't you go take a flying ****?

Gosh, that's the first sensible suggestion you've made in a long, long
time.

And yet you are still here bothering the grownups.

I'll hold the door open for you.

The planes I've jumped from didn't have doors!

Ever jumped? I've done a few. But it's a silly sport, hours of prep
and waiting around for a couple of minutes of drop time. I can ski all
day, in between refueling.

Sailplanes are still on my must-do list, though. After I write my
book, maybe.

That's for sure... the airplane restroom size is VERY
position-limiting ;-)

Late at night, by candle light, Dirk Bruere at NeoPax


Maybe just had a bad day. Try again with a different saleshuman.

- YD.

There is a nice weblink www.findchips.com that gets around idiots like that.
Type in all/part of the P/N and it brings up stock info for about 10
different distis, some of which will even talk to you without an account.
You might want to mention this to the part manufacturer as well.
After all, why fo they pay the distis a commision anyway. Half the time they
ship from the manufacturer direct and carry not stock.

Or they were stuck in crusted medieval sales

OK - I just have to share this pet peeve.

No matter where I am, any time I buy batteries at Radio Shack I get
the same:

"What are you going to use 'em for?"

I suppose there are a few people out there who don't know what battery
they need, but this question is really, really annoying to those of us
who do!! I wonder sometimes whether A) they're really interested in
an answer -- any answer, or B) might actually be in a position to
offer selection advice, or C) maybe it's just an internal joke to
them.

Sometimes I just make stuff up.

They might have got a directive from Homeland Security to be on the
lookout for kids who are making bombs. ;-)

"What do you need them for?"
"To set off my pipe bomb"
"And what was your phone number again?" ;-)

Cheers!

The HVAC groups would eat him for breakfast. ;-)

Surely you are joking.

In four decades, I have NEVER gotten ANYTHING useful out of an Arizona
Manufacturer's rep.

They are the vilest of the vile.

did try talking to Avnet in Phoenix a couple months ago. all I can say
about that is oy!

They'll still just put them on the mailing list.

The distributors.
I have not come across a more useless bunch of wankers in the
distribution business.
Me: Hi, do you have this part xxxx?
Them: Do you have an account?
Me: No, but if you have the part we will open an account to purchase.
Them: You need an account.
Me: I just need to know whether you stock the item.
Them: You need an account.


I used to have to spec parts from "Hamilton Have-Not"....

Salesdroid: "Oh yes, we have 128 of those in stock."
Moi: "Great; I'll be over to pick up 30..."
Salesdroid: "They're not here...they're in Dallas.."
Moi: "No problem; ship 30 here & I'll come pick them up - Tuesday?"
Salesdroid: "Err....."

By the time I left that assignment; even the procurement folks were
using my version of their name...
