Yes I did, didn't think that I spelled Rite incorrectly. I bought a
few things from them when I needed a machine to have at home for
school.

That's a bummer. Now that Gateway is gone, there's not much around to
get good prices on components. Oh, and Mouser closed their parts
counter too. I'll have to check if Western Radio is still around, but
IIRC, they were pretty expensive. Luckily, Radio Shack still has a
small supply of basic stuff. Mail order I've had good luck with Dan's
Kits and Small Parts. I'm in the process of building a radio interface
to one of my radios for soundcard and rig control using FLDigi on
Ubuntu.
