As I mentioned elsewhere, whenever I click on any area of their site
having pricing, I get a call from them the next working day. I do this
quite often, I like looking at scopes :)
Do you subscribe to the RF Globanet "newsletter?" They occasionally
provide interesting links to manufacturers' product announcements or
data sheets, but it's pretty much guarantee that if you click on
one, you *will* get a call the next day or so from that company's
salesguy asking if there's any chance you'd like to buy 50,000?

At least personally, this makes me *less* likely to check out those
manufacturers' products than I otherwise would have. Their loss...

Hey, you guys should watch the cookie settings in your browsers. Might
be good to flush them from time to time.

With Tek you have to register on the site, and be "logged in" to get
the prices. (At least the UK ones). I am sure I could have just
entered an incorrect phone number but I don't really mind in this
case.

Tek: "Hello, this is xxx from Tektronix UK. I was just checking to see if
you got the information you needed from our site"

Me: "It looks very nice but none of my probes will work with it, and
the adapters are expensive. And it doesn't even come with any,
you have to buy them separately."


Tek sells scopes without probes ... ?

<gasp>

Maybe some, the ones I'm buying do come with a full complement of
passive probes (as well they should).
