And that's what happened with me the first time I tried it in a 
different browser.  So it must be a random thing

Short, sweet, to the point and fairly accurate.

Anyways, I'm glad people are enjoying the article.  I'm originally from 
Grand Forks and still have family there so I read the paper online quite 
often.

I still remember one time walking into Digi-Key and wanting to pick up a 
few parts.  It really threw them for a loop, but they did get them for 
me.  Took a while, but I was in Thief River Falls for other business and 
had stopped at Digi-Key first, so I just went about my business and when 
I came back, they had the parts ready to go.  I guess I should have 
expected that, but it was my first experience with Digi-Key.
