When I ordered some samples from microchip (to experiment with self-programming) a while back, I got an email from my employer's microchip rep shortly thereafter, asking whether I needed any particular assistance with the new chips. (This wasn't out of the blue; we'd met, and I'd explained that my interest in PICs wouldn't translate into big orders from said employer, and she gave me a list of who was using what where. here, and so on... So I'm happy and rather favorably impressed.) Sample requests aren't as anonymous as you might think...
