OT: Where have electronics hobby stores gone? Component lists

I went looking for a friend's site, who had a business similar to Poly Paks, ACP Computers in Santa ana. I found a list referencing the Teknopak site, which may be of interest to those who buy things from Digikey that someone has compiled. http://www.edtmag.com/dista.htm contains a pretty large list of links to sites (which I did not vet) that may be others who sell small volumes of parts. ACP Components is similar to Teknopak, and if you need small volumes, I think they'd be friendly to such an order. If this is to much -Off Off topic, then I apologize, but I had not checked on what they had and this seemed useful. I know I promised to take Billy up for a visit to their warehouse to nose into dark corners for his projects, and still need to when he is feeling more like driving and probably taking a day off. such operations as ACP have huge stashes of "junk" parts they get in with good shipments of parts, and there is no way to list all the crap they have stashed which was custom, or modified, or house part numbers, but might be useful to hobbiests. Most get culled eventually and trashed (recycled) sad to say. http://www.acpcomponents.com/ Jim
