Hi Tommy, thank you for the feedback on PIC prices. In Australia it is
almost impossible to get PIC chips at times as prices double then half
and lead times can be 6 to 8 weeks and that's on what you would probably
call common items, so I am going to try your Singapore contact to see if
he can assist.

I just repeat that for those that didn't believe me, or thought It was a
typo.

The prices double then half on some PIC components and that is in one
single day. It depends on who you speak to and what company policy they
quote.
