        Well that is a good point. MChip has significantly improved it's sample
process. I also placed a sample order for two separate things at the last
MChip event I attended (early last year) and only one arrived (the one I was
less interested in, grr...).

PS. BTW, when is masters this year? There's a chance I might be able to go
depending on a few things. TTYL
