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. > >> Anyone head out to the Santee swap?

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. > > Gus -- Mark Schoonover, CMDBA http://www.linkedin.com/in/markschoonover http://marksitblog.blogspot.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
