And they don't sell it on their germany web site (de.digikey.com), as digi
does not sell Linear Technology in Germany.

Today I searched google news for Altera and found the news saying that
Altera signed contract with Digikey in Feb. 15th, 2005. Now hobbists don't
need to ask where to buy Altera again on the list.

Still expensive though.
