Bah! I am still excluded - in South Africa.

The only option with Microchipdirect is $22 shipping via courier, excluding
import taxes and couriers brokerage fee on that paperwork (splutter cough
cough). Based on Fedex/DHL/UPS quotes ( for Digikey / Mouser) I get to pay
between $80-$120 dollars. 

For my hobby stuff I would rather have an option of being economical with
postage and pay for the chips. Or get free samples that takes 3 weeks to
arrive - like with Maxim. 

So, c'mon Microchip, put us on the map.
