[Noisebridge-discuss] Electronics supplies in SF?

[jim]

   i think i prefer electronics plus (in san 
rafael on fourth street a few blocks west of 
the freeway) to al lashers (i believe on 
university in berkeley); as i recall they have 
a broader line in the browsable retail section 
than lashers does. 
   isn't there an electronics retail place in 
san mateo?
