[ale] [OT] My first visit to Fry's

[scherrey at proteus-tech.com (Ben Scherrey)]

Yes they do have discrete components and the tools you need to put them 
together. Dunno about specific IC's though - you'd have to call or 
visit. They have a nice selection of scopes and meters and a decent 
technical book section. Prices aren't as cheap as mail order but they 
aren't outrageous and the convenience is good enough that I've bought 
all my stuff from them since I've been back in town.

    Enjoy -
