Mouser door stop

[lightguy]

I just received a Mouser parts catalogue in the mail today,  I didnt ask for it, its about half a tree ok ......3  inches thick!! Do they always send these out to first time customers and if so how often after that?

Sure seams like a waste of paper

I have received two so far and my first mouser order was this past September.

I have made several orders with them and no tree limbs came with mine....and glad too.

I have gotten 3 or 4 over the last few years. I've never found the spot "online" to turn them off. They must cost a fortune to print and mail but I don't even open them.

update - went back and looked a little harder - When you go into "My Account" look down the left for "e-News & Catalog Subscriptions"

You can turn off the Paper Catalog there.

Don't worry, even if you change your preferences to no catalogs, they keep sending them. If you call, and tell them to quit sending them, they still send them. This last one I got, I told the Post Office lady to send it back, which she did, postage due. Maybe they'll get the hint.

I don't mind one catalog it's the multiples of the same ones that bug me.
Parts Express sends one with nearly every order and Northern Tool has to be one the worst at sending new ones in the mail all year long .  2 per year are even hardcover, plus all sorts of sales and special edition catalogs through out the year.

Parts Express, i forgot abuot them...  they stopped sending me when i moved. even though that would be an expensive route to go just to avoid catalogs

You are not joking. They will not stop sending them to me no matter what!

How well do they burn in the fireplace? Perhaps I'll just save them for next winter then.

I recently received one about a week or two after receiving parts for the USB Dongle.  Threw it in the outdoor fireplace and just lit it up along with a couple of logs on an unusually warm night.  Very calming and good for the soul actually.

just when i thought i was gonna slip by without getting one....

mine came in the mail today.

[LondoB5]

That's funny, because I actually ordered one in December and have not received it as of yet. So if you want one you don't get it, and if you don't, you'll be swimming in them.

I'm saving mine...    should have enough in a few years to insulate a large doghouse  (that I'll be living in after ordering the SSs from Ray).

insulate? they might BE the building blocks!

insulate? they might BE the building blocks!

Hmm, would you use regular construction adhesive to assemble the "bloocks" (book-blocks?).  Maybe shoot a couple nails through the bloocks to hold them together while the adhesive sets...  I wonder what the R-value would work out to be?

These are becoming dangerously close to becoming the "fruit cake" of the DIY electronics community around here.
