Eli's is a great source for cables or garden variety boards, 
especially DEC.  IC's, however, aren't high on their list:  maybe
if you're looking for pre-burned PROMs... ;-J.

You-Blew-It?  They're really pricey, but OK for small quantities:  
Highland Ave. in Needham off 128, turn East, then North at the gas
station.

Actually, the best source for IC's is to call up your favorite
industrial 
supplier and order one or two.  The salesmen will just send them
to you because it's cheaper than billing you...
