More seriously, with lots of really good electronics,
electromechanical, etc. distributors on the web, almost all of
which are very happy to sell to hobbyists and tinkerers, there's not
much need for Radio Shack anymore. Not that I never buy a fuse or something
As I've said before, mail-order is fine for the main components for a
project. It's when you run out of 1k resistors in the middle of an
afternoon, or you need a couple more 2N3904 transistors to do a
kludge-modification, or... that you appreiciate a local shop that sells
such things...
