Well, as local as I could find without going completely out of my way on the way home from work.
In the drawers: slots for Pings, PIRs and Accelerometers - the only items in there were the accelerometers.
On the pegboard: Serial LCDs, Gyroscopes, Xbee Wireless kits, Altimeter modules ($31.99), Compass Modules and GPS modules ($49.99) - 2 each...ok, now 1 each for the Altimeters and GPS......
None of the items on the pegboard had RS price cards. Too new? Too confusing?
There were also 2 Basic STAMP kits. There were a larger number of books and 3 of the Make kits ($100+ each). The interesting thing was the way the merchandising was set up. I had to take a picture for the irony.
The two guys in there were busy with customers so I didn't really have time to chat.
.....oops Netscape and Ubuntu and me are having problems uploading the picture.......gotta go change computers....
