Yeah.  While I never minded lying to companies to get free samples
from companies when I was a student, I always felt a bit guilty when
they ended up paying many times the cost of the chip to ship me a
massive databook with it.  (Not that companies seem to be very
efficient about shipping chips weighing less than an ounce by
first class mail, anyway.  Sigh.)

Yes, I did/do enjoy browsing through a good databook.
