Hi,
I just had a little idea that I’d like to share with you. When interacting with technology like computers, every now and then it happens that you do not have enough space on the viewport to lay out all the Information that you are interested in. Like for example you want to draft a document […]

Hi,
do you know any small Electronics Shop in Tirol where I could buy small electronic parts and stuff, like resistors and breadboards, and whatever people would like to play with. I can’t be bothered to order stuff all the time, I just want to browse a little and get my things on the go. […]
