as an electronics geek it is frustrating to go into their "parts" section and see a choice of 5 individually packed resistors for a dollar each...You used to be able to get a huge slection of transistors, caps, resistors, 7400ICs, timer ics, blah blah blah I do understand their cutting back, though. There is bigger money in iPod chargers and bluetooth earsets than there is in transistors... people can't open up today's electronic products and fix them like they used to.
