Interesting - what's your experience with Futurlec?

http://www.futurlec.com/index.shtml

I ordered a bunch of parts from them; the website's pretty fast, it's plain
HTML for the most part so its easy to Google, and they were pretty prompt
about getting the parts order to me.  It was about an 8/10 on the "finding
what I wanted" scale - compared to Jaycar's 6/10 for me anyway.

HTH,

Paul
