Need 2 or more days to > look over it. honestly, i'm done. the ladies from jihang, as mike explained today, appear to be part of a.. what's the word... there's many groups of people like them - a cooperative if you will - where they all share the same database. except the owner of jihang electronics has pretty much memorised the *entire* database. that and the fact that they were willing to be there during the holidays, tells me what i need to know. they had time for a westerner (me), when several of the suppliers were really very rude (clearly didn't want any business). now, if i was looking to source 100,000 components it would be a different matter: i'd go haggling on price. but honestly it's worth paying a small percentage more just to be able to go to the one single supplier. l. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list [email protected] http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to [email protected]
