There's an outfit that I sometimes do business with--Futurlec (at
http://www.futurlec.com/ ).  As near as I can figure, order processing is
done in New York, but shipment is done from Thailand.  It's odd--I still
get my orders in about a week, so maybe globalization works.  They also
carry the Aussie "Silicon Chip" magazine.

Cheers,
