Do you honestly think I would buy anything from RadioShack?
Umm Do they sell anything other than solder and a bit of wire?
Now let's be fair. Radio Shack has considerably increased the
number of electronic components that they carry in their stores in
the past couple of years. Now you can get all the basic resistors
and capacitors, as well as a fair assortment of transistors and ICs.
And their connector assortment is pretty impressive.
Let's give credit where credit is due.
Due to exposure like Make magazine and such, electronic hobbyism
seems to be on the rise, a welcome change after its massive decline
over the past 10-15 years. Kudos to Radio Shack for recognizing this.

Yea, well for all we know you look like an ash colored zombie
stiffly
walking into Radioshack with outstretched arms mumbling
"brains... err flux,
rosin core solder, flux!"
