From my office at work, I can SEE the Fry's store across the
interstate. I've been there a few times.
As a parts location, it leaves something to be desired. For example, I
found a few TTL and CMOS ICs, but could not locate any linear ICs,
other than three-terminal regulators. The Fry's in San Jose has a much
better parts selection, although I suppose many of those parts have
been hanging on the racks for years....
I've just about given up on Fry's, Radio Shack, or even hamfests as
parts suppliers. Mouser, Digi-Key or Dan's Small Parts seems like a
better bet....
