Yes, SU Burlen is excellent, provided you aren't in a hurry. Generally
speaking the suppliers have better stock than they do. I think they just
wait until they have enough orders of a certain type before they start
filling them.
Skype is great too. I did a 4 hour conference call from a log cabin in Lake
Tahoe on Skype with New York and Hong Kong, the whole thing costed me 3
Euro. I didn't even bother expensing the company for it!
