	I sure hope that's an ugly rumor but fear the worst.  I've never
understood how they make a profit from selling the stuff they stock in
the stores, considering the relatively high inventory and low average
turnover.  Prices are a lot hight than places like Mouser and Digikey,
but they have it where you want it and when you want it and price is
usually secondary for impulse buyers.
