Digi Key is not RONCO.

Don't bet on it.

What a silly remark. Digi-Key is a major component supplier
that's been around about 20 years. They sell no consumer
products.

They'll sell whatever manufacturers have to sell, at 2-10x the
going price. Sounds a lot like Ronco to me, though their online
catalog is better.

This is foolishness. Digi-Key is a distributor, not a manufacturer.

Can't read much, eh?

Guess not.

At least you're honest about your shortcommings.

I was being sarcastic.

To compare a major distributor of name-brand electronic components that it
does not manufacture, with a maker of consumer gadgetry, is ludicrous.

The fact that both companies sell items for more than what it costs to make
or obtain them (which all companies have to do to stay in business) does not
bestow any form of equivalence on their businesses.
