I learnt mean years ago that the correct answer to a

About 10 years ago I walked into a Radio Shack, and when the sales clerk
asked if he could help, I asked if they had any wire wrap tools. I almost
passed out with shock when he showed me where they were. I bought one, now
if I could just find it...
I know it had to have been old stock that hadn't sold as even then they'd
really gotten worthless. Now you're lucky to find anything. :-(
Part of the two loads of Commodore stuff I've gotten this year has included
a lot of electronics books and parts from back when Radio Shack was worth
going to.
