<div>Oh yeah I know about those drawers. But they're a far cry from what radio shack apparently used to stock. I always hear stories from older people about how they learned electronics from a heathkit they bought at Radio Shack. I'd love it if they started carrying arduinos and sparkfun retail products and all that stuff, and taught a new generation of hacker types.<div>

</div>A little-known fact is that every Rat Shack (to my knowledge) has in<br>
the back a large gray cabinet with a couple dozen drawers, filled with<br>
assorted resistors, transistors, LEDs, and other components. This can<br>
be quite helpful if you're trying to finish a project at 6 on a Sunday<br>
evening out in East Bumfuck, Pennsylvania, for instance.<br>
