But that's my point - why in the world would you rely on the advice of a
radio shack employee? Their job is to ring up stuff at the register. They
don't know anything about electronics.

I don't understand this attitude towards RS at all. If you don't like

don't buy from them. You now have a zillion alternatives right through

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.
