I hate to see any store close and people be out of work, but they have
not kept up with the competition. Nor are there as many people building
electronics from scratch when you can buy them so cheap already assembled.

Last time I needed a special battery for a controller, RS wanted $15 and
a week for special order. On line it was $5 and same day shipping.
That store has since closed.
