Heh, that's been a notion I have had for a while. Opening an all-night sho=
p somewhere in Silicon Valley that sold patch cords, memory sticks, disk dr=
ives, maybe even common router blades, optics modules, fans, etc. Sell it =
for a bit more margin than the going rate for the "day" shops and ONLY be o=
pen at night/early morning, say 7pm to 11am. Maybe do some "remote hands" =
work, too.
Fry's wanted $55 for a 1 meter LC-LC multi-mode patch cord yesterday at the=
store on Arques in Sunnyvale.
