Good point, but at least RadioShack USA has a lot of
electronic components still.  One would think that
since they are apparently owned by the same company,
they would stock the parts, but I guess not.  The only
way to get electronic components from RadioShack
Canada is to buy a consumer device and desolder the
stuff you need ... hehehe

Not in my town.  The local RS store only hires
attractive young women who know ABSOLUTELY nothing
about electronics AT ALL (not that I'm complaining
about the hot chicks :).
