RS Catalogue
Just rang RS Components (they of the electronic components fame) and asked for a catalogue.
They said I'd have to have an account and agree to spend a certain amount every six months. Or they said I could look at the website/CD.
I do enough computer crap and I want some paper! When you're unsure what you're looking for a paper catalogue is so much easier.
Silly sods.

they're hard backed as well, and come in a box to keep them all together.
i'm sure they like to advertise, but you can't go handing out half a tree, willy nilly.
we tried to get some for the dt department at school when i was in 6th form, and were politely told to go whistle. we weren't surprised when we
figured out what we'd asked for.

The RS catalog is huge and must cost a lot more than a tenner to make. It is seven volumes and it is at least 7 ins thick. I suppose they dont want to
give it away to you for free to buy a few quids worth of bits.
Have you asked if farnell will send you one?

I suspect the same conditions exist...

We get about 6 sets delivered at work every 6 months or so. Half of em get chucked out as everyone uses the website. I'll have a look round
tomorrow and see what's spare. Anyone really wants a set you can have em for postage (or swap) There heavy though, 7 ish inches of A4

Farnell used to give them out - I got a set when I called there. Imagine how many people would take a Maplin catalogue for free from one of their
stores and then maybe go in and spend £10 - it just would not be worth it to them, their website is good though.
