Must have something to do with where your located Mark, back
here really, they just simply don't send them out.
The first few years that I worked at the accelerator lab, back
in the early 80's they would blanket the whole lab with them,
secretaries, cleaning people, etc., all had one in their mail
box. Same thing with Grainger and Allied Electronics, you could
literally take a truck load of catalogs home if you got to the
trash cans by the mail boxes before they got dumped. That
blanket technique only lasted a few years and for the last
decade or so that I worked there only the buyers for the lab
got the catalogs. Story I've gotten from the sales people is
that they're trying to eliminate the hard copy catalogs since
they've gone to the online catalog. Last copy I got was #108,
dated 2002 and as I said that was sent to me by a friend, not
from the company so it's pretty out dated.
