Just wanted to add a remark: I ordered samples yesterday. Once, we could get 5 parts , with some 3..10 pieces each, twice every 40 days. Now, we can get 2 parts, 3 of them (I tried basic 8nbits PICs), 3 times every 30 days. Is it better of worse? To customers or to Microchip? :) As for delivery fees, it looks worse to me...
