Right, and why should there be ? Do you really expect the average
'corner store' shop to carry stock of even a tiny part of the full range
of electronics components now available. Even back in the '80s, when I
ran an electronics shop, and we carried about 7000 lines of components,
we could see the beginning of the end.

On-line sales, just like on-line datasheets, is the only way to go.

A few weeks ago I was in Akihabara in Tokyo, it was good to see that the
markets with little stalls usually selling just one type of component
were still there among the super stores and anime fantasy cafes.
