        Not as far as I know. I'm sure if you contacted them directly they'd be
open to sending you a few samples, but they don't have an established
program like Maxim or Microchip.

        I got mine from digikey.ca, I usually have a bunch of stuff "in waiting" to
get. Heck, if you can't fill the order enough to meet the minimum get a few
PICs, they always come in handy! :)

        Hehe, I can empathize. I once downloaded a whole redhat ISO over dialup,
took 4 straight nights. Of course, then I got DSL, now 100MB just doesn't
have has much "sway" on the pain scale as it used to! :) TTYL
