I think Maplins is more in competition with RS components than Tandy.. Both
RS (no idea what it stands for!) and Maplins have HUGE mail order
catalogues, and offer a wider range of stock than Tandy. I haven't used
Maplins, so I can't comment on them, but RS have good customer service/care
and prompt delivery, but you do tend to pay a bit more for their components.
The catalogues apparently cost �27 to produce, as the rep informed me when
he noticed the four month old 3-phone-directory-sized box sitting unopened
next to my desk.....! maybe i'll have to use maplins from now on.....
