When I was a lot younger electronics was a big hobby of mine. We didn't have the internet back then but we did have radio shacks everywhere and they had a decent selections of components. If you all of a sudden needed a 5 amp bridge rectifier and some 1/2 watt resisters it was just a quick trip away. I don't have a radio shack within a 100 miles of me anymore and I don't even know if they stock those things anymore, their website sure has a poor selection. I came across an online retailer recently that sold stuff in small quantities however their shipping charges were unreasonable. So, does anyone have a recommendation for a good online store where one can get various IC's, and discrete components without having to buy a case at a time and with shipping charges that don't run 10 times the price of your purchase?
