Electronics suppliers

[Jim Staff]

     What are good places to get electronics stuff? Could you provide me with 
the names, number, and costs of catalogs plus you personal thoughts on them.

     I know about digi-key : I've had good experiences with them. But they are a
little expensive and don't carry a few things I like (Such as mos-fets and 
bipolar transistors) Also the have some strange love of national semiconductor. 
Which is a good company and provides good parts.
                  Archer [Radio shack] : They've got thier good and bad points. 
They are a tad bit more expensive. And the selection is limited. But after all 
they are just a few blocks away [1 mile in my case] so you have instant 
satisfaction. Also they have a knack to have the IC's I need but never the 
resistors or capacitors I need. They have more diodes than I've ever seen and 
have never heard of some of the ones they have.

     If anyone know about a company called  ____***ARROW***____ please give me 
information. They are a good supplier and carry buttloads of stuff. 

         Bye,
