[GreenKeys] Electronic components...

[Chris Elmquist]

Jameco are still quite active and are what used to be known as James
Electronics and the "Jim Pak" guys (yellow and blue packaging) in many
electronics shops,

(Jim-Pak wall:  http://www.jameco.com/jameco/email/jim-pak.html)

They are going after the Maker space now so cater heavily to hobbiests
and small quantities.

Sparkfun have both components, breakout boards for lots of new devices,
and kits,

Unicorn Electronics goes the other direction, having lots of vintage
ICs and supporting components,

Being a MN guy, I am a big Digi-Key fan but these others are frequent
suppliers here too.
