I quite agree. Here in Canada Radio Shack has moved into the mass consumer
market leaving the electronic hobbyist to fend for himself. Here in the
Toronto area we have access to specialty electronic stores that cater to our
needs.

My ISP does not seem to suport news groups any more, so I can't say
what is being built.
How about changing the name to alt.I've.added.lights2my.case. I notice
here in Canada
Radio shack has got away from selling almost any kind of real electronic
componemts but
it shure has a lot of small light bulbs and big heavy switches.
