Some posts seem a bit harsh for a guy looking for just a single chip.
So he should help himself and go looking? Looking how long before he gives up? Maybe hes got a deadline. (yes, even a hobbyist can have them) How much work is a single chip worth?

I say, though not sure about the AUS end of it, to get a free sample from MC (I've done this in the past and some of the parts came from the Asia factory. )
