This week's find

        I am not positive about this, but when I found my 90 pieces of RCA
CDP1802ACE processors, I *may* have run across a tube of 8008's. I wasn't
interested, so I didn't play close attention. If anyone is interested, you
could try calling Austin Electronics at 770-449-8697. I think I may have
seem them in the boxes of tubes of chips in the back room.

        If you find some from there, you have to send me 2. :-)

        --John
