Sad part is that the clerks don’t know cell phones — at least not the ones in my neck of the woods. The guys at the local Sprint store, on the other hand, are very helpful.

There[sic] stores are huge.
Their stores are also large.

Just the other day I was looking at a box of vacuum tubes I have. I should try to sell them on ebay.

You're missing the point.
Badly.
1) I already know about those places. Thanks anyway, though.
2) They're great. You can have your parts tomorrow!
3) Some times, you need your parts TODAY.
To: Veggie Todd
Now where will I buy my resistors and capacitors? I order them online. Radioshack has had a pretty limited selection of electrical components for quite a while anyway. I mostly stopped going there when they started bugging you about giving them all your personal information every time I wanted to buy a battery or a roll of wire.

I think a Tandy 486 or something was the first “affordable computer” to have a built-in CD player or something. I could be wrong though,

The end of an era.Joining Woolworth, W.T. Grant, Lit Brothers, A&P, Horn & Hardart. Soon to be joined by Sears.
I worked at Sears 40 years ago in part to make money to buy ham radio supplies at Radio Shack. My grandson will feel the same about today's stores 40 years from now, if there is still an America.

If there really still is a market for 'the local electronics store', I imagine Fry's and Microcenter will expand.
If not, I'll have to improvise, adapt, and overcome.
To: NorthMountain
Yes, we used to have a local electronics parts store for hobbyists and hams, but the guy retired about 20 years ago. He had practically anything you needed.....................

Guess the marketing boss didn’t get the memo. Facepalm.

I’ve been using Digi-Key for a long time now. Maybe 20 years. They ship the same day and the prices are good. Sometimes the product description leaves something to be desired, but for the most part it is all good.
