- I have not had so much luck with all electronics. When i tried to order
- items they sent back a refund because of being out of stock. Yes they do
- have a large selection of components but so does many other companies
- such as mouser electronics 1-800-mouser. Basically what you should do is
- fill out a reader survey card in an electronics magazine.
- This way you will have many catalogs ffrom which to find a certain part
- or device and you wont have to be forced to order from one particular
- company.
