Hi Gus.

Are you buying your LPC parts directly from Philips or through a
distributor?  What did your Philips representative tell you?  I know
Arrow and Future (other distributors probably do too) have bond programs
where I can give them a forecast of when and how many parts I need and
they will buy and store them for me at an agreed upon price.  I haven't
had a problem with parts except when I DIDN'T provide a forecast and
needed to ship a lot quick.

2 weeks too late now.
