I hate parts!
Shopping for parts is such a drag. I would take on more builds if the parts fairy would look kindly on me. Scrounging, tedious ordering, organizing, storing... I hate it. I wish the part I needed appeared in my hand at the appropriate moment.
Electronic equipment is designed using facts and mathematics, not opinion and dogma.

Yep. I'm a sucker, because I always try to get the best price on parts for the people I build for (the time I spend on that they get for free...). I probably spend more time shopping than I do on building the friggin' things...
Re: I hate parts!
And then there's figuring out how many and what else to order so the shipping doesn't eat up that savings...

All true. That's why I'm setting up a repair station at the multidimensional crossroads of AES, Newark, Mouser, and McMaster. I'll pull my own parts as needed, and it can go on my tab.

I will, sometimes, peruse McMaster-Carr even when I do not need to order anything.....just for the pleasure of looking at all their "stuff".
