Though online retailers such as Mouser, Digikey, and Sparkfun have huge inventories and are cheaper, sometimes it’s just faster to drive over to RadioShack at Briarwood Mall and pick up a component. Plus, there’s the aesthetic appeal of holding parts in your hand, staring at them, and getting a sense of the final design. Many an idea we have had simply looking and daydreaming at the stock shelves.
ByB hereby gives a heartfelt thank you to “Stew” of our local Radio Shack, who has often helped us find just that part we were looking for. There’s still a place for gearheads past all the cell phone accessories…
