I HATE when that happens ...  ;)

People -- this one has been discussed to death and is even noted in the wiki ... most things that you would order from Happ can be obtained elsewhere (e.g. from distributors) for lower unit costs and lower shipping. Monitors may be the one area where this is not true (and is, indeed, the one item that I have ordered directly from Happ).

EDIT: Since this discussion includes the issue of shipping monitor bezels ... those are expensive to ship most times. I have actually had a number of folks get the bezel shipped to the local distributor and I will pick it up for them and find a more efficient way to get it to them (e.g. local meet-ups).

What to heck is lagniappe?

Lagniappe is a custom practiced here in Louisiana & I'll give you Webster's definition........
"lagniappe or lagnappe n. 1. a small gift given by a merchant to a customer for making a purchase. 2. a gratuity; tip"
Whenever possible, something is randomly thrown in with your order that my wife or I think you may be able to use, or the brownie cookies or trinkets at Mardi Gras time, or sometimes even the shipping container such as the Rubbermaid containers that were used to ship buttons & joysticks several times. You never know what, or when, you'll find some oddball item in your order... calculators... telephones... tool sets... toys... extras of the same part... vid game posters... flyers... boxes of lamps or stuffed animals just to name a few of the items already sent out as lagniappe.
