Installing LEDs

When it comes to specific electronic components, yes they tend to be overpriced, but by the time you pay postage and/or shipping it more than evens out. In my (limited) experience of the stores, the main problem is that the staff don't really know a great deal about the electronic components they have hidden away in a tray somewhere near the back so you may need to go in armed with information and a specific shopping list. There are exceptions to the rule of course, you may find a store with a real electronics geek who just happens to work there, but prepare to be faced by a young kid, fresh out of school, who thinks he knows a bit about televisions and remote controlled toys.....

This, and they'll try to sell you a cell phone.

A little off topic - but I would love to live in Phoenix, AZ. I'm not exaggerating when I say that probably at least one third of all my "special" shopping sources are all located there. It has an even greater special-tech density than SoCal or Texas. A man can dream.

I lived there for 18 months. Every time the leaves start turning and the air chills I want to move back
