@lupyuen Was it a place like Radio Shack was when I was a kid? You could go there and buy some random value of resistor or cap. Get 555's on sale sometimes... Very long ago :-(

@gemlog This is more like a Computer Store. When I did my master's thesis at Illinois in 1990, my prof bought me a development PC from Fry's 🙂
