I still use a lot of their old products too - good stuff! An Archer tape-head-demagnetizer, old Realistic bench power supply, one of those Realistic MG-1 synths that they collaborated with Moog to build (just recently sold that, but it was only to upgrade to a different Moog), a Realistic Electronic Reverb (a cool lofi 'verb), there's a mixer around here somewhere, and I'm sure other stuff I'm forgetting. (EDIT- almost forgot about my TRS-80 color computer! hehe)
RS still sells "Getting Started in Electronics" but not the other Mims books or the basic breadboard project kit he designed.
That reminds me of those radio project/experimenter boards they used to sell (not the breadboard, but those ones built on cardboard with the springs for interconnects). I saw something recently at Thinkgeek styled after those- gave me a flashback
http://www.thinkgeek.com/geek-kids/7-13-years/beb3/Incredible Universe stores that were an incredible flop.
I remember those
. The one here became a Fry's Electronics. That's where I usually go for computer stuff these days. Their electronic component selection, though, is not much better than RS.
