 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....
