radioshack and I wanted to post my opinion:

>BAD:
>high prices
>parts out of stock
>some radioshacks are badly run and give radioshacks a bad name

>GOOD:
>you can see what a part looks like before you buy it.
>parts come with info on back of packages
>cases! it's HARD to buy the right case through the mail
>mail takes forever! that makes the money worth it for me)
>you can ask the people there (hopefully)

>If your radio shack is crappy and your mad at me now, sorry, but Radio
Shack is a CHAIN store and the radio shacks in apple valley (by victorville,
CA) are great and I am to impatiant for mail-order.

>always remember my friends, convincing everyone you know to give you their
broken appliences instead of throwing them away is the best. This method
gave me so many leds an MICROSWICHES (yay!) alone to make up for money
waisted at radioshack. just one little IR led from a thrown-out remote
control is better than paying a buck or two for it.
