OK, I've enough of this bull****.
aikatt, get off the forum if you're going to play the victim every chance you get. I have never had a problem ordering parts from WDC provided I met their minimum ordering requirements. Garth has never had a problem. Mike Nazembary (he who started this site) has never had a problem. Daryl Rictor has never had a problem.
You, it seems, are the only one. Four people who have had positively good experience ordering components from WDC, versus, it seems, just you.
Obviously, we've never read the 200 e-mails between you and Bill Mensch. You're right. But you don't disclose those emails publically, so how can we? And if we did, I bet you a slice of pizza it'd immediately reveal the hypocrisy with which you burden this forum with. I bet you even go on to beat your chest like an ape with your steel orders, threats to switch to the AVR architecture, and the like.
Particularly when you interject your own interpretation of someone else's problem into the thread in an attempt to shanghai it to your own nefarious agenda. The original poster wrote,
somebody told me that this cpu is difficult to get. Is because i want to go from 5 Mhz to 10 Mhz. The one i have is just a 65C02P. Can i just overclock it or i have to change it for the 65C02P-8

Nowhere in this paragraph do I see any mention of problems ordering from WDC. Once again, you are the only one to have brought this up.
If you cannot comprehend the intent behind a single forum post here, how can WDC expect you to comprehend their minimum ordering requirements? No wonder you're having such problems with them.
You demand that we "quit the condescension," and yet you
freely offer such condescension every opportunity you can here, if not to Apatco, then to WDC, and also to others on the forum. The very act of demanding we quit the condescension is itself condescension!
You can't have it both ways -- you want us to quit the condescension? Then grow up. You claim you won't treat us any better than your chip suppliers because we tend to prejudge people like you? Then start posting facts instead of dick-waving. We don't give a **** about your $12K purchase orders from some steel supplier, nor do we care about your 600 SRAMs, 200 AVRs etc. If you genuinely are the professional you say you are, and are this unhappy with the 65xx market, you would have dropped it like a hot potato and never looked back.
The key words being, "never looked back."
If you want to contribute productively to this forum and the 65xx community, the best thing you can do is learn to communicate with other people, stop playing the victim without offering hard evidence to support your claims, and stop spreading blame, especially ex post facto.
There was an awesome quote in a Youtube video I watched recently. If one person calls you an ass, that's one man's opinion. If ten people call you an ass, you get fitted for a saddle.
