Don't know if maybe this should get kicked to the brewery due to the rancor factor, but it seems to relate to project building and the tribulations thereof...
So I signed up for a "my mouser" account, thinking "Ooh, great, I can slowly add to my different BOMs and then save them and come back to them later and keep adding when I think of more stuff." I spent some time one night last week working up a list of stuff that I needed for my mnats 1176 boards. I went back tonight, logged in, and lo and behold, stuff was added into my "project" without me having done anything. I might not have really noticed, except that the order total was more than double what I had left it at previously!! Not only had extra items been added, but quantities were changed (upped!) on almost all the items on my list! So now I have to go back through it with a fine toothed comb, leading me to think that this is not saving me any time or headache versus just blocking out a chunk of time to do the whole order at once. Has this happened to anyone else? Is Mouser trying to rip me off, or is something else at work here? So far I am not very impressed with their "my mouser" / "project manager" service....
