[SGVHAK] shopping list

[Matthew Campbell]

I got to know the manager while they were still in Pasadena.  He would seem
me entering the store and appear in a whirlwind of arms chanting "No
electronics, just computer!".

Sadly this store really isn't as worth a visit as it was in its heyday 10
years ago.  The sister store in Newport Beach still sports stacks of
electronics parts worthy of a pilgrimage.  At least it did last time I
visited NB to get my car worked on at the dealership down there.
