At least your Radio Shack has caps! I went into one a few hours ago looking for a DB25 female connector and a couple of 10uf caps. Nothing. I had to drive to a dedicated electronics place. Pain in the ass to have to drive there, but I ended up paying $5 total instead of $10-15 (guessing).

2 employees and I was the only customer in the store. I was wondering about that and thought about posting the same thing. Neat coincidence that someone else created this thread today.
