I was would like to purchase something from microchipdirect.com, however when I go to register an account, they force you to put in a company name. Eh, I am just doing this as a hobby and am currently a student. Does microchipdirect.com only allow businesses to buy from them, or can I put in none and continue on without being questioned by them.
The idea for this program is to get customers. Those who will buy large quantity of their part.
Just make up a company name, like Imagitron, or something. Not honest, but who is it gonna hurt. Who knows you may learn something and place a 100,000 piece order later on when you develop a great product?
Just use your college name. Supply companies know that college student purchases are a good way to boost future buisness.
Or put in "prototype development" if it will fit.

I think you are probably correct but if I need a sample (rarely) I can get them via my workplace who are in contact with the local rep. I just thought it might be of interest to other forum members.
