[lug] CompUSA replacement in Boulder area?

[Elyse M. Grasso]

Speaking of McGuckins... I once was able to get an IO chip at McGuckins that 
JB Saunders didn't have. I had to go to the desk in the back where they grind 
keys and ask for the specific part number, and the guy went into the back an 
got the part for me. 

This was 15 or 20 years ago (it was a 20 pin chip for a kit I was building 
from the Byte magazine  'circuit cellar'), and McGuckins may not stock ICs 
these days. But they might be worth a try for odd capacitors or resistor 
values.
