It's often hard to find good Canadian retailers with competitive prices on the web. So, when I find one that sells great gear for a fair price, I feel compelled to spread the word. I just ordered a huge load of circuit gear from dipmicro.com, and let me tell you: for about $60 I got almost 300 pieces! Resistors, capacitors, transistors (light sensitive ones, too!), inductors, timers, jacks and adapter heads, LEDs, relays, rectifiers, regulators, and a 16x2 character blue LCD screen!
And, in 30 minutes I'm going to set off driving to Burlington to pick it up. It's not that the $12 it would cost to ship was excessive, I'm just excited to tinker.
As a quick side-note, I've been looking for LEDs for a while and, compared to other places, this is a steal. Radio Shack sells one red LED for $5.95! *roll eyes*
