Tnet cohorts: Recently I asked about where to buy a plastic 4X loupe... This was a nice "giveaway" item I've had for years, which numerous people have tried to swipe. This is a fill-in. Seems that DuPont and AT&T circuits had used these as trade promotional items, and they are good quality one-piece clear plastic magnifiers, suitable for film inspection. They allow plenty of topside ambient light, and rest on any flat surface at the appropriate focal distance. Thanks to Frank Kurisu, Scott Birnbaum, and John Nelson for the clues. They can be purchased from the seemingly friendly people at: Penn Inc. 417 E Ross St. Lancaster, PA 17602-1943 Phone: (800)608-7366 ext. 14 Steve Shank (717)397-7480 p/n D402A (this is imported from Hong Kong, but identical to the W. German ones they formerly supplied) price is $9.45 each, minimum order 12 pcs these can be imprinted with a logo for $1-2 each with a $45 setup charge. They can take a credit card order, too. Tell Steve that I expect a commission for this sales effort ;-) regards, Jerry Cupples Interphase Corporation Dallas, TX USA http://www.iphase.com Sorry, I am not aware of any impending doom to heroically warn you of; nor is there any new and easy way to become rich for which I hold the key. You are strictly on your own. Please let me remain happily ignorant if I have been passing up an easy fortune or my computer is about to die. *************************************************************************** * TechNet mail list is provided as a service by IPC using SmartList v3.05 * *************************************************************************** * To subscribe/unsubscribe send a message <to: [log in to unmask]> * * with <subject: subscribe/unsubscribe> and no text in the body. * *************************************************************************** * If you are having a problem with the IPC TechNet forum please contact * * Dmitriy Sklyar at 847-509-9700 ext. 311 or email at [log in to unmask] * ***************************************************************************
