Newark forced me to create an account with credit card first, before
they tell me total cost.  You are not allowed to store credit cards,
even encrypted (well, last time I dealt with PCI rules).  So, I don't
know how they get away with that.  I went with Mouser when I orderd
Beaglebone Black ($45 + $8 US Postal Service).
