Most of them are closed around here already. I forget they still exist.

I miss going in for twinlead and having them try to sell me the "lower loss 75 ohm coax". Yeah. They said it is lower loss because 75 ohms is less than 300.

I'm surprised they didn't try to trade you up to a cell phone.

You got questions? We got cellphones.

Still think it was a good idea to sell nothing but cellphones? :chin:
