Never had a problem with Samtec for sure. Sometimes engineers have to fight a
battle with purchasing. I foresaw a problem with a particular component on a
�750,000 contract some 20 years ago and pressurised purchasing in the presence
of board members to give extra lead time for these, since we hadn't ordered that
specific model in ages.

Did they ? Hell no ! It resulted in the ONE problem with project completion,
dealines and in-field reliability.
