That's a pretty good point you brought up, I didn't even think about it. Last time I was inside one was bout 2 years back when I needed a memory card for my blackberry curve's video camera to function.

they were pretty useful for my senior design project. they carry certain things that other stores just don't carry anymore, which I guess keeps them in business.

Yea I have often wondered this myself.
When Best Buy came in, you would think they would have swallowed them up. Even Circuit City couldn't hang.
Personally I haven't bought anything from RS since the early 90s.

check around.. i guarantee the RS' in your local stripmalls are the oldest establishments there (Eastbay Area heads, agree with me?.. Fremont & Hayward are littered with them)
BTW, the things that they sell & the prices they charge are
Yea, the one in southland mall been there since I moved here (I think), which was 9 years ago
My friends brother used to worked there and everytime we went to go loo at stuff there'd be mad people in the store for some reason. Makes no sense.
