How often do you guys head to radio shack, or electronics store near you, and what do you usually pick up, Here is what I got today Now don't anyone steal this image and not give me credit.. OK.
Take it easy, i think he's taking the piss - besides, what does anyone here care if you nicked about a fivers worth of stuff?
Yeah...I was gonna say something about how bad you got raped by buying that stuff at RadioShack. I know you probably don't have one near you...but there are a lot of better electronics places that you can order from online. One of my favorites is Jameco. Of course I know that would mean not being able to have right now. And lsdiodes is definitely the way to go for LEDs.....of course you probably only needed 1 and not 50 (plus the resistors). But just think of the things that you could mod with 49 extra bloo leds.
Im not poor, and 3 bucks doesn't really bother me anyway. so I dont car, plus I wanted it now, and I dind't want to have to wair for it. you can see what I did with it here. http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=57705
You mean you went to .... Ratshack I try to avoid it because of inflated prices and moronic salespeople.
In the UK, Radioshack stores are called "Tandy"... same thing tho: Stuff you can get from Farnell or Maplin... of lower quality, and twice the price. Useful if you need things in a rush tho.
