The place really changed when Gene retired. They did get plenty of my hard
earned $$$ over the years. Sad to see them go, hurt also when Mouser closed
their local pickup window too.
I just went over there to look around. Basically there isn't much
left but mixed assorted little things. I will miss having a place
where I could browse small connectors or other bits and pieces. I
never found 19-pin D connectors to fit my NeXT computers anywhere
else.
