I see regular ads in Nuts & Volts from this company. However, searching using Google, I don't find much on the net about them. Not even a single question on any of the newsgroup despite the company having existed since
1999!
Do any of you know if this is an OK company to order from, or is it just a freaky credit card harvesting site?

Some of their MCU specs look fantastic:

Hmm ... but still unknown company and reputation anywhere ... oh well.

I have purchased from them in the past. We needed a small FLASH card. Bought their MVDISK. Worked as advertised, customer still happy.

.... 102 more lines snipped ....
Were those 102 really lines needed to convey the the sense of your reply? If not, would it have been ineffably painful for _you_ to have done the snipping?

These people have been advertising for years in several mags.
I have never ordered from them, but with a long history in hobby mags, I would give it a try.
If they were not a good place to order from, I am sure people here would know about it.

Al, Ville, James, Hamilton: Thanks all for the insights ! I called them up and turns out they don't even accept credit cards, only COD or pre-payment. They don't have email, and only take support calls by phone.
I'll go ahead and place an order and report back how it goes.
Cheers !

My humble, and sincere apologies. I'll be more considerate in the future. Is there an AUP FAQ around here? Do you top-reply, or bottom-reply, or inline-reply, or have particular styles to adhere to, or have certification policies on how to behave, not to behave, and which certification teams are responsible for enforcing the AUP and such? As I am fairly new here (last time I did microcontrollers were way back in the 80's using DEC systems) I really have no idea on whether I should adhere to your request or if it is contrarian to do so and in the process violate an already established AUP. In any case you can put me in your filter file so you won't have to endure the annoyance in case I forget in the future.
(maybe a form template, or an automated interface to help validate articles would be helpful)

... snip ...
Don't know whether to take you seriously or not, and it doesn't really matter. Bottom posting and snipping can NEVER be wrong. Most here do so, but there is the occasional top-poster to be found. My normal practice is to ignore them unless I have something to say on the subject, when I must either laboriously fix the quotations or snip everything away. This tends to reduce my postings, which some may consider a good thing.
What you appear to call inline-reply is part of normal bottom-posting. In some cases it MAY indicate articles are too long and complex.

Goods arrived, and turns out this is an Atmel ATMega8 MCU with basic and assembler compiler as the secret sauce :-)
