[ale] [OT] My first visit to Fry's

[Christopher Bergeron]

Does anyone know how much the discrete components (resistors, etc) 
cost?  I hope the prices aren't absorbinant  like at  Radio Shack. 
($2.00 for 10 resistors).  Also, can I buy 100 packs of leds and things 
like that?

Anyone know?

Thanks again.
