When I saw "RS" I thought it was a reference RadioShack as well. Where is RS 
located??

I hadn't considered them since the one time I walked in years ago the walls of 
speaker cones made me think they were strictly audio. Will have to scope them 
out. Thanks for the lead.

To answer all your questions in a different order:

Yes, Austin is still open! And yes, it is still a great place, IMHO!

I was there last week. Unfortunately they are not currently open on Saturdays 
or I would have saved about $40 and a couple hours of hunting parts for a 
[multi-monitor / one computer] KVM switch project; they had everything on the 
shelves and for really fair prices. As it was, I had to return during the 
week to pick up the last few cables I needed and couldn't find at the several 
computer shops across Jimmy Carter Blvd from them.

I think they keep their doors open with a respectable, unique, and slightly 
eclectic inventory, friendly service and great prices. During the 45 minutes 
I was browsing there on a Tuesday morning they served several other customers 
and took 3 or 4 phone orders.

And Since the owner's sirname isn't Gates and they aren't one of the other 
large international corporations, it is highly unlikely that they have any 
connections with organized crime and/or the present executive branch. :-)
