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!
