Now, at Radio Shack, the clerks aren't even knowledgeable enough to
properly peddle cell phones :-(

Yeah, that's what I meant -- Radio Shack is poor today.

DigiKey works just fine for "order by part number, correctly filled order
coming rolling in on the UPS truck."


....as does Mouser ... Jerry Mouser got his start peddling imported
("jappocrappo") parts to the aerospace geeks in San Diego out of the back of
his station wagon in the company's parking lot at quitting time.
