Just FYI all-

I picked up an accelerometer from a company called Gulf Coast Data Concepts.

Matt, thanks for reminding me that the best way to get something is to just ask (something I normally have no problem doing). After a brief conversation, a rep from the company gave me an educational discount on a logging accelerometer (250g max) that had a minor (and easily addressed) QC issue that couldn't be resolved. I was impressed not only by their help and cooperation, but also by the fact that they test every product, and if it isn't right, it doesn't get sold (at least, not for full price).

Consider this post a very positive shout-out, not only for customer service, but for high standards of quality. If you have a need for one of their products, I HIGHLY recommend them.
