Props to Parallax (pun intended)

This is just a thank you to Parallax. I just in the last few weeks have finally got my blemished PPDB out and started getting familiar with it. Friday I received a 2 X 16 serial LCD, the 2 X 8 LCD app mode and the HB-25 motor controller for a project I am working on.

While sitting at the bench fondling all the goodies it dawned on me that, "wow, this stuff is really made well"! Everything about all these items are first class, not cheesy feeling at all. Even the silly little standoffs and screws are nice, not junk.

I still haven't found the boo boo's on the PPDB that got me a really nice discount.

I'm a long time BS2 user and recently moved to the Prop and just wanted to say to Parallax, well done guys..

    Hey Mike -
    Thanks on behalf of everybody here! We do strive for the best quality and the best value -
    Fortunately Management believes that the Best Quality is the Best Value.
    That's what we strive for, sometimes we even hit it :D

    Parallax also puts a lot of great value and remarkable quality "inside" the Propeller chip, even though this structure is not something that's easily seen externally.

    I have to say that Parallax products aren't the cheapest things around, but because the high quality manufacturing, great product support, and extreme longevity, I am still happily buy from Parallax.

    @piguy101. Like the Shell answer man used to say "Pay me now, or pay me later"..

    My Wife likes to buy me tools for Xmas, birthdays etc and I finally told her to stop as she always looked for the lowest priced tool and they are almost always junk and never last. I'll pay for quality over junk every time.. (You listening Parallax?)

    The Propeller chip has the highest technology at the lowest cost. Most people overlook the actual retail cost of a dollar per processor. ($8 for 8 processors in each chip)
