Another here who set the alarm to wake up at a ridiculous hour of the morning to be repeatedly met with a message indicating the website could not be contacted. I expected as much though, and to be honest I had trouble finding something I wanted that couldn't just be ordered through work for a legitimate purpose anyway. Good luck to them though. It was obviously a spectacular success and I doubt they could have bought better advertising for the $.

So what is the story with Littlebirdelectronics here in Aus anyway? are they in some way affiliated with Sparkfun or just a coincidence that their product range and website just bear a striking resemblemce to Sparkfun's? I'd never heard of them before seeing their add / dse like cheat sheet on last months SC.

Oh...by the way Don any idea when you'll have the TTL-232R-AJ interface cables in stock? (Maybe I get some of them at the Dontronics free day too. That will be coming up soon wont it? :))

I have feelers out to see what the score is there. I am also curious.

Had them on order for 2 months. I hope to see them on my shelves in 1 or 2 weeks.

(Maybe I get some of them at the Dontronics free day too.

Free day was 1:45 hours. :-) I figured to line up with my 100th birthday. Isn't too long to wait!

I actually had a free order for my 100,000 hit to my site, but that was in 1996? They had to capture the [100,000] screen counter to get the free goods. Too long ago to remember who got it. I gave prizes for one either side also.

Another silly story in progress:

Had a look at their website, not overwhelmed by their pricing. If you are in a hurry and they have it in stock (not too many items at the moment) then you could save possibly $10-15 over Sparkfun's express mail option. Not in too much of a hurry, Sparkfun via first class mail is the cheaper option.

Checked on a few mid price components ($60-70) your milage may vary.

hey

They are one of the multitude of Sparkfun resellers.

Littlebird started out distributing the Arduino in early 2007.
