CPU design at the gate level

Is there an RS outlet that differs from the "corner Radio Shack" store in the UK? It happens that there's a "RadioShack.com" store, coincidentally here in Denver, and it seems to operate quite differently from the "corner Radio Shack." They sell parts that seem to work properly, aren't blister-packed, and they seem, most of the time, to have matching connector halves, pins and receptacles, as well as the tools and materials needed to use them. It's really quite a shop, though severely tainted by not only the Radio Shack name, but the product lines as well. Whenever you need a PIC component, though, you can just go in and hand them the money for it, as they've got 'em for the most part. They also do an internet business and ship their parts, which means you, Tony, can order Their search engine leaves a little to be desired, however, so be prepared to spend a little time with it until you find the "tricks" needed to get it to go past the usual Radio Shack problem that the search engine doesn't know that you might be able to use a 74F381 when you're searching for a 74AS381. You get the picture ...
