It is interesting how things change.  Way back in early 70's there was a 
Hamilton Avnet office not far from my parents house.  Being a kid 
interested in electronics I would literally ride my bike to the Hamilton 
Avnet office and order parts and pay cash for them.

They would give me any catalog that I had an interest in.  They really 
tried to help me out even though I probably never spent more than $20 at 
a time with them.  (Big bucks in the early 70's).  I remember having a 
hard time strapping all of the catalogs onto my bike rack and making it 
back home with my components in a little bag.    I had "feet" of 
electronics catalogs stacked up in my room.
