Dear Mr. Paswanath,
We will provide samples but pls tone down your content of the mails, we have to follow a procedure to provide samples for educational purposes since it does not hold a business value for us.

Subject: What About the samples
Dear Atmel,
I ordered two samples of Atmega8 and Atmega from Atmel website about two
weeks ago.
According to the website ATmel needs three days to process every sample
order. But even after two weeks there is no any notofication about my
sample query. I heither recieved the sample nor got any emails from you.
So, can I be able to get the samples? Or is your sample process is
inactive and only for 'showing-to-others'? "
What is with text speak? Is it to difficult to spell out a few extra letters? That is quite sad.So, is there no way except buying the atmel components.
Specially, I need an ATmega8 and a ATtiny2313.
Did somebody heard about Atmel samples for educational purpose?
My local rep of atmel wrote in email:
A damn nonsense
ATMEL!~!!!!!
Microchip is far better than them.
I wish atmel to die...![]()
Imagine, a couple of schmucks like us actually buying parts. Watsa madder wid us?We never have trouble getting samples from our rep. But then, we are in the business of actually buying the components after evals. So there it is.
