Mouser backed the right horse.

Now if they could fix their search function...

[Blackburn]

A good read. I didn't know Mouser was part of Warren Buffet's empire. And I completely agree about the search function gripe.

I like Mouser's search engine much better than Digi-Key's! And CE Distribution's search engine pretty well sucks too....

[Blackburn]

DigiKey's isn't too great either. Luckily, for CE, I've gotten used to where everything is and never have to use it.

You are a demanding lot. You want smart searches on maybe 1 million parts and cheap prices too? Just what are your priorities?

BTW, I agree that the search engine is seriously lacking. The best search I can do is to use their paper catalog. I highly recommend it.

Let's see.... smart searches on a million inexpensive parts, a strawberry margarita, oh yeah, a '59 gold top would be nice, an unlimited supply of funds. And while we're at it, can I also get about 30 years taken off of my age?

Yes. 1 million parts is exactly why the search engine should be smarter.

I prefer to thumb through the paper catalog as well. I have a hard time with the immense waste of resources to print that damn thing.

I don't have one. What is it, like a phone book or something?

Yeah, like the Manhattan phone book. Ask for one next time you order. Mine is a little out of date

[sepulchre]

Yes, it's like a Manhattan phone book... two volumes! I do like looking through it but when look for a particular part I wind up distracted by what I see along the way (Dad used to say, "a leaf blew across his path") and so my order grows. Sometimes I actually get what I was looking for.

I think Mouser could take some notes from Newark. I know they don't have near the sheer numbers but their search is very nice.
