All that i asked them was "Is the aT89c51SND1 available, if not how do i get one?". And guess what they said, "We can't tell you that if you don't have a letterhead", and then proceed to show me out. that is my only grouse.

By the way i think the guy who did this was a clerk!!

"Going by thier buisness pattern the question you asked (mp3 decoding ) does not fit at all. "

I didn't ask them about decoding, i wanted that chip!!!
(i wasn't even asking for a sample!!)

By the way the guys at ATMEL were quite helpful when i contacted them over the net. i have nothing against ATMEL!! it is just that funny sales guy at Ana-Digi...
