Nichicon and Panasonic are two popular brands among others. You might find lower prices at some electronics surplus 'sites, but there may be no guarantee how old they already are and it's hit or miss what sizes and values are available in anything decent. |

There is also a vendor call Radio Daze, but I'm not as familiar with them. Regards, Tim Schwartz Bristol Electronics |

First of all WebTV still exsists? And second.. My ISP used to provide a NNTP server but unfortunately they don't any longer. I was a bit angry about that, but I couldn't use it away from home anyhow. Now I'm using giganews which seems to work ok. |
