Don't know how I messed that last one up - guess that what I get for copy & paste! Anyway, I walk into a RS today and get depressed. Not the store it used to be. But again, we've gone to a throwaway society. Something breaks, buy a new one. Need something installed, hire someone, I don't have time. It was funny in a way... I walked into a RS a couple of years ago, clerk came up to me and asked what I was looking for. Tole him I needed a "male motorola type plug". Blew his mind! What I was looking for was the car radio antenna plug for my SAAB. He took me to the Motorola Cell Phones! Tried to explain to him what I needed, it wasn't going through his mind. I finally found it, on my own, and he was amazed, didn't even know what the part was for. Guess people don't venture into the parts drawers in the dark corner of the store anymore...
