Hearing this made me very curious, then sad, as I'm 8953mi ( 14408km) away.

But then I found https://spectrum.ieee.org/slideshow/semiconductors/devices/s.... The tiny little blue arrows on the slideshow weren't immediately obvious!

They have (had?) a local warehouse I think off 101 in the Bay Area, don't remember exactly where. You could walk in with a list of parts and they would grab them for you right there.

You're thinking of Jameco?

Yep thanks I just remembered that's what it was ("it had a J in it"). Woops. Not sure why I've had them confused for Digi-Key the last few years. Maybe the Digi-Key branding is just more memorable.

another fun fact, they will ship for free if you pay by check.
