	I agree with Terry about R.S.  They pack an amazing amount of useful
stuff into a small store, and are really useful if you're in a hurry
(for something they have).  Prices not great but bearable.  I use them
when I'm in a hurry and go to places like DigiKey when I'm not.  There
are scads of outfits selling electronic parts on the web  (All is one I
usd a lot), and if you can use surplus stuff it sure pays to look.  But,
"thank god for Radio Shack".
