Just an FYI guys, the PIC chips are shipping in the hard anti-static tubes. I bought 10 of each from here:
http://www.elexp.com/ics_icst.htm They were easy to cut up with a utility knife without shattering and I bought 150 of their rubber stoppers for the ends. They had very inexpensive shipping and my order came quickly. Now if I can only get over to a post office while they're open I will be able to get these chips out the door. -Bob On Sat, Aug 7, 2010 at 2:02 PM, Joseph Gray <[email protected]> wrote: > Without naming names, I want to suggest that if anyone on this list is > going to ship IC chips in the future (DIP in particular), that they > either use the hard plastic tube the chips come in, or put the chips > inside a box.
