Hi all -- For those going to Orlando for the symposium I'd like to suggest a side visit to Skycraft Surplus, a marvelous source of stuff you didn't know you needed, just off Interstate 4 at the Fairbanks Ave exit, very easy to find. Their inventory is mainly electronics but they have lots of mechanical odds and ends as well, and a particularly large selection of small nuts, bolts, screws in metric and US sizes with a wide variety of head configurations. I have also seen vacuum pumps, motors, sandpaper, brushes, odd bits of bearings and metal, etc etc.

No connection to these folks exceptthat they accumulated a bunch of my money over the years.Hope to see some of you in Orlando. Best regards--
