I don't understand this attitude towards RS at all. If you don't like it,
don't buy from them. You now have a zillion alternatives right through the

Hmmm... What's that they say in all their ads?
"You have questions? We have answers." Oddly
enough, if your question is even the least bit
technical, their answer is either "I don't know",
or it's bogus.

Every once in a while they screw up and hire folks
who understand electronics. But IME, not too
often. And heir selection is *abysmal* - and
getting worse.

Granted, the hobbyist market is down. But I contend
that RS helped destro it.

Yeah. We've seen this thread before -even heard from the guy with the
website too, IIRC. The place definitely isn't a hobby shop anymore.
Closer to a home electronics specialty shop. It may do that pretty
well, but certainly it DOES suck at its 'old' business.
