   That's a good lesson for we scroungers.

   I ALWAYS check for unusual parts when I go to a new electronic parts place. I almost always find something interesting. I went in a place a few weeks ago and found a NIB Intel bubble memory. I check for HP-IL cables (surplus places NEVER know what they are!), Intel 4xxx parts, etc etc.
