Ok, I am from the old school.
I am having a hard time understanding what is happening.  I know Microchip
tells us to ask our distributors for samples now.
Does Microchip help the distributors with samples?  Because my distributors
act like I am asking for an unbelivable favor!
Is the policy: Buy what you need, Microchip does not help developers any
more?

Just wondering what others are doing..

Best regards,
Giles
