Every guy does it.

They send me huge (2200+ page) color catalogs (free) for pretty much any electrical thing you could ever need. I just got my 2008 catalog about 15 minutes ago.
wires, cabinets, bad ass toggles, buttons, temp sensors, fans, speakers, tools, robotics, storage containers, organizers, ... Just trust me when I say damn near anything you can think of in every shape and size. Put it this way... 97 pages of switches lol.
No, I'm not spamming or something... I just know what a lot of you are capable of and I can tell this will be your new bible haha.

I often read Sport Compact Car or stuff on the internet (Wireless means never having to say "brb, bathroom").
But a huge electronics catalogue? That could be interesting.

@ Helix666 I've got one of those shops nearby, but I always thought it was a carpet showroom or something. I might go tomorrow now :D thanks
I typically read whatever book I'm reading anyway.
And I'm pretty sure girls do it too. ;)
Still, very cool. Since radio shack sold out and turned into another cell phone provider, I've been searching for a good supplier for a lot of simple electronic places that don't charge outlandish prices. I'll definitely give these guys a shot.

I have an ever changing stack of magazines and some books, I keep a small shelf in there actually and just carry whatever I'm reading in with me. Right now, I'm reading Zelazny's Amber for about the 14th time.

Word searches or Sudoku.
I was working in our purchasing dept and sitting right across from me was this big red beauty. I thumbed through it while I was waiting for software to load. It's a sweet catalog. I really enjoy the section on physical networking. There's something about raceways and hanging wire bundles that gets me smiling. How strange is that?
