You're obviously not a CPC customer....! The catalogue is essential...

Regrettfull example of a hideous online catalog.
If you know the exact description of an item, you have a hope.
If you're trying to browse an actual category with more than maybe 30
items, then it's hopeless.

One thing I'd quite like to see.
Suppliers making (on bittorrent or other p2p networks) complete
PDFs of their catalogues available.


Rapid Electronics provide a .pdf of the catalogue as well as the real
thing and the web version. It's split into chapters so you do not have
to download the whole thing at once. This can also be a disadvantage
but if you have access to the full version of Acrobat you should be
abale to stitch it back together into one document.
