Agreed. Sometimes their stuff is priced so much higher than other vendors that when I do bother to use one of their coupons, which often provide a significant discount, it only brings the price down to matching mail order sources. But they also have some bargains mixed in. I bought some long flexible drill bits used for running wires in walls and they were priced quite reasonably. > For my money, I'd go to Microcenter in Cambridge.

I haven't asked an employee yet, but a few times when I've been there since they started advertising that they carried Arduinos I've wandered around trying to find them and haven't. I expected to see them in the last isle on the left at the back of the store where they have small tools for electronics work. Where are they hiding them? Over the years I've noticed Micro Center has carried a varying selection of electronics components. At one time they carried some general purpose logic ICs and discretes, but still a smaller selection than you'd find at a Radio Shack in the 90's. -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
