Re: Poly Cap Shortage!

Hi Jeff,

	I will sell the extras for $1.40 each + $5 for shipping.  That will cover
my cost of the caps and the mailing costs more or less.  However, I will
have ~320 and Chip wants 180 and I will probably keep about 50 to fix my
EMMC if I kill it.  So that only leaves about 80 extra for three months :-(
 Chip may want to keep some extras too if a string blows or something so we
really won't have many extras for the immediate future.  When the other 700
come in I will sell them off in any quantity at the above price but till
then looks like they will be pretty rare :-(  DigiKey still has 2200 of the
47nF is stock but you don't get quite as much bang for the buck with them.
I called around to the other places with these particular caps and they
were all worse than DigiKey.  Some went to lead times of 6 months!  Of
course, the Panasonic caps are not the only game in town and now that they
are getting scarce other sources may be needed...

Cheers,

	Terry
