Oddly enough, I have found recently that when I request samples for 
my personal stuff, they ar either not in stock, or refuesed.

When I am doing an actual project, I get them in two days.

This past week, I have received sampes from 4 seperate companies and 
two sampes from one of them.

My software guy received 2 samples, and one of those was from Digi-
Key.

This product will be out before the end of April and is a fast track 
project.

One my electro-pulser for my home project, I requested a pair of 
samples from Maxim.  It took over 6 weeks and they are so darn small, 
I can't relibly use them, and would not use them in a design as I 
cannot solder them.
