I've read and re-read your statement and it still makes no sense. Who
is "they"? Radio Shack? They have not stopped selling those items.
Their shelves are full of them and that's what amazes me.


You're kiddin right?


THEY being Radio Shock - A Dandy Company
THOSE ITEMS being the ic chips, capacitors, resistors et al...

Which reminds me, has anyone seen a Tandy Leather Company store
lately? I have about 60 of the leather tools and nothing to "tool".
