[ www.questlink.com offer of $175 off of a $200 order]

>>    Bill, please keep us informed on your results.

As of today, it appears that questlink will apply all three discounts to
my initial order, meaning that I will indeed end up with $200+ worth of
components for ~$50 (once CA tax is included.)  This is considerably
better than I expected to happen (IYR, I was expecting at least $100 of
the discounts to apply to my NEXT order.)

I wouldn't say things have gone tremendously "smoothly" beyond the first
$25 discount - it sorta seems like their software isn't quite up to
keeping track of all the discounts you might be entitled to, but they
seem to be making up for it via some significant individual efforts by
their employees (good job, that!)  I didn't exactly COMPLAIN that the
discounts hadn't shown up, but I did mention it in a second set of
"feedback", and everything was cleared up pretty quickly (or appears to
have been.  The credit card statement will show for sure!)

I'm finding the site pretty useful for tracking down info on assorted
chips, as well, although there are some gaping "holes" that show up now
and then (it didn't know about AMD PLDs (now at Lattice) or Benchmarq
RTC modules (now at TI), for instance.)

I don't know where they are on "the first 1000 customers", but it's
a site worth checking out regardless...
