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

[Christopher Bergeron]

Thanks for all the info guys.

Ben, as for the discrete components, they're not rediculously priced 
like at Rat Shack are they?  I need things like Capacitors, resistors, 
etc.  I usually get that stuff from Austin Electronics (or Mouser), but 
his inventory is hit-or-miss sometimes.

How much would a pack of 10 resisitors or 10 capacitors cost at Mouser?  
Any idea?  Also, could I buy in 100 or 1000 quantities?

Thanks again!
-CB
