In that time, the electronic parts inventories of my
two local RS
stores has more than doubled. They've inked some sort of an agreement
with Parallax, Inc. and are now selling their stuff, including Basic
Stamps and various sensors and robotics goodies. Not all stores stock
all of this stuff, but I've seen bits and pieces of it at several of them.
This is a huge step in the right direction. I suggest we support them
in this effort in any way we can.
Another nice thing is their $0 shipping policy. If you order online
and have your parts shipped to the nearest store, it takes a day or two
at no charge.
And yeah, they charge silly money for common component parts. Like
somebody said, I just consider it a "convenience tax".
