[HATS] Electrotex Closed!!

[cboone@earthlink.net]

Called them this morning...the lady who answered confirmed...
they are closed permanently.....Looking at their web site has nothing
about the closure.....

With them and EPO closing their NW store, its going to get harder to
find good parts....Altex here in Houston is nothing but a PC store..
At the Dallas store, they STILL stock small parts (IC sockets, 
resistors, caps including variables!) but I wonder for how long.
