Fry's now carries el wire from ellumiglow.com. Seems to be going fast though. Was stocked last week and they are almost already out!

No such luck at Fry's-- in person or online. Nor at Radio Shack.
The closest thing I've seen "bricks-and-mortar"-wise, is in the "detailing" section of auto parts stores.
My issues with online shopping are, besides needing/wanting the tactile experience with the thing before I plunk down money, when I'm experimenting for the first time with new materials/ideas, I want only a "trial size" and and I want it NOW...(before the urge/idea gets buried!) ...., and I object to paying almost as much (or more!) for shipping as for the actual materials themselves. This is an ongoing problem for me.....

I agree totally with you about online shopping. I'm also very disappointed when I got to a site and it doesn't have anywhere as much stuff as "bricks-and-mortar" store. They appear to not want to allow you to buy what you want, rather only what they want you to buy.

I found that some times they don't always have all the things that they have in the store as they have online.
