I had the misfortune to be in there today, and I think he's gone.  The kiddies 
behind the "components" counter couldn't actually operate their computer 
terminal correctly, and couldn't either confirm or deny stock of several 
common components (in this case, fuses).  After several frustrating minutes 
(I really needed the fuses NOW!), I left the shop, and I won't be going 
back....
