Need to go pick up some more el-cheapo SOIC's.

There's an interesting local electronics store that's run by a nice elder=
ly=20
gentleman. The place is dusty, many parts are from another era, but many =
are=20
quite up-to-date.  Looks like he buys a lot of closeouts.  Best part is h=

prices -- I'll go in there and grab a few dozen chips, connectors, severa=

dozen capacitors, transistors, etc.  I'd be estimating about $40-$50 at=20
digikey-ish prices.  He'll split out the high-dollar items, write up a bi=
ll=20
for those and chuck the rest in the bag, then tell me.... $10.  Hobbyist'=

paradise.

Cheers,
