good beginners breadboard kit?

[binary digit]

Can anyone out there recommend a set or parts someone who is getting into
circuit design should get? I was thinking if I can find a kit I would buy a
breadboard from radio shack , some small wires, and a power supply but I was
hoping there was many a starter kit that came with a bunch of
capacitors,resistors,transistors,etc.. and a board and power supply. thanks

I am not sure what your skill level is at this point but you might try

picking up a project book....one of those 101 electronic circuit books. Then
you will need to get a supply of parts. I would recommend a local
electronics surplus company. They usually have grab bags of parts that would
probably get you most of what you need. The harder to find parts you may be
able to get from a place like Digikey.com. If you don't have a surplus place
in your area try http://www.alltronics.com and send them an email request or
a call for grab bags and breadboards and such. You pick that stuff up for
pennies on the dollar. I know they have sold them since dinosaurs roamed the
earth! (unfortunately I was there too!).....good luck.....Ross
