Yes, that sort of thing is really annoying. Why

I live quite close to the Farnell Electronics trade counter.
Unfortunately
Farnell stopped selling 2114 RAMs last year. Which is a total pig because a
few 2114s would have made my ?5 order up to their ?10 minimum order quite
nicely.

PCBs that way rather than using CAD systems? I mean madmen like me
probably still do, but if Farnell sold stuff for such eccentric

RadioShack when I was on holiday in the 'States. Then a few months after I
got back I bought a Panasonic KXP4400 300dpi LED printer and some
Press-N-Peel. Now I use the PnP.
Just out of curiosity, I'm planning to get a refurbished Sony CPD-E220 17"
Trinitron computer monitor from DIGI-UK (www.digiuk.com iirc). Has anyone
tried these monitors? Are they any good? I've used a Sony Multiscan 17sf II,
that was quite nice.
Later.
