I had more business than I could handle. Another kid....Donald (I can't believe i still remember his name)...saw how much money I was making and started doing the same thing. We both still had more business than we could do. I got bored of it very quickly after I'd made enough to buy my first computer...$2,500 inflation adjusted. That was ~150 yards mowed over two summers. It wasn't too hard, but very very hot. It comes out at about 1 yard a day. I wouldn't even blink considering having to do it now, but I guess it was hard work for a kid because I used to dread it so much.

RS did not have that big of a selection of anything, I'm sure you could match their entire inventory for a few tens of dollars - the price that you'd pay for 10 of them at the store. At least get a big enogh supply to keep you busy for a few days to order the exact part from digikey
I thought retail was supposed to collapse in 2009 and have a much bigger impact than housing...but it never did from what I saw. I look every time I go out.
Every week, I buy all the new sensors, etc that can be plugged into an aruino/pi. This comes out to maybe $10/month. Unless there are a lot more people like me that I don't know about, I don't think it's a large enough market for a retail company to survive. I even see sewer ebay sellers now that there used to be.
I wanted that so badly./Was actually looking at trs80 computers this past weekend on ebay. I've decided to buy all the things that I wanted but could never afford when I was a kid. Still waiting for a connection machine to show up, but probably still wouldn't be able to afford it.
I had to pay $20 to get a full set of every possible resistor (and another $20 for caps) ensuring I'll never have to leave the house again. It's enough to hold me over any contingency until fedex can get here tomorrow,
Could be the real goal here. I know a lot of old people who are miserable (standard old people problems) who want to make sure that everyone around them is equally miserable.
I had to start my own business when I was 8 because I was not legally old enough to work. I walked around the neighborhood pushing a lawnmower and made $15/hr (inflation adjusted).
Yeah, this was the first thing that I thought. Warehouse automation is long overdue, We had a semester design project in college to design an automated warehouse
Mars is effectively a vacuum as far as your body is concerned. You would not survive longer on the surface of Mars than on the surface of the moon without an environmental suit.
Scientific studies conducted in Bangladesh by the NIH show that child death that occurs, parents make two more to ensure that some survive into adulthood. Something like if two children die, four extra are made. Families where no children have died are much smaller than families where multiple children have died. And yes, they accounted for the whole correlation/causation thing. This is the single biggest factor to the TFR.

This does not matter. A week from now your life will be no different. You will not change any of your behaviors for this. This is infotainment.

For $40-$100 you can buy a complete inventory clone of a radio shack on ebay. Do it now and restock with individual items when you use something.

I'd be there every week.

Do what I did and stock up before you need it.
I'm sure you could bank a larger selection than RS for less than $30.

It was dead before the internet. By a changing DIY hacker culture that made it possible for it to exist in the first place.

You're thinking 2020. Robots will have killed everyone by 2024.
I haven't had a real desktop, or desk for that matter, in over a decade but have been using linux continually in one form or another since 1993.

True that.

You don't get rich by spending your money. You get rich by spending other people's money.

What if we required that all computers be Turing complete?
