The other news in this article: Jameco is still in business?! Wow.

They used to supply geeks throughout the US with their mail order biz; For me, it was late 70s/early 80s.

Jameco is very much alive! However, My bank recently called to verify some purchases with them. They claimed that my regular transactions with such a company were flagged as suspicious. I suppose the everyday household is not impulse buying this stuff as I do.

Yep, they're around and seem to be doing reasonably well. I buy a lot of electronic components from them, and so do a lot of the other folks at Splatspace (the Durham, NC hackerspace).
