I spent a day and a half on the phone calling around trying to buy a
lousy two pounds of a specific DuPont Teflon-bearing grease. The
worn-out DuPont tech rep finally wrote an order for a two pound sample
but I had to drive 50 miles to the Dupey warehouse to pick it up.

I imagine it's much easier to simply run a web search today.

Hi Brian,

That is exactly how I get all my exotic electronics parts, engineering
samples. FREE. Need a 24 bit ADC? How about GHZ GBWP amps?
Precision V-F-V converters? FREE.

Now, if I wanted to buy one they would tell me to take a hike.

As for your last comment about web searching. That is my current
business. I build web robots and if anyone is interested, my current
model that I call GrantBot will search through nearly 2000 pages of
legislation funding of Grants offered and awarded by every department,
agency, institute, consortium, office, bureau, center, program, group,
division, administration, service, ... in the government.

This offer is free to individuals.

I have a generic robot that is workable, but which remains to gain
recent work's improvements. However, it requires that you have some
foreknowledge of potential links (it is a targeted web robot, not a
free roaming one).

That too is free to individuals.

When I say individuals, that means those not using it as a tool of
their paid work. If you are a sole proprietor, I still consider you
an individual.
