This thread is not even enlightning but even tempting. Russell, I appreciate the links that you have posted. According to your links my recent Mouser purchase is worthless. I Recently purchased 25x ATMEGA328 for $2.48 each. I wish I shoudl have waited to see this thread ;-= ) Of course I get peace of mind when buying from suppliers of repute like Mouser but How can you go wrong buying a full "A" board (sssshhhh - Olin) around same price. Thanks for sharing your research which will be quite useful like always.
