[ba] OT- hardware help

[Wallace White]

Mr. Metric is still around and does have an excellent selection. They
were the only place I could find an M1.2 tap (for work).

The other local fastener source I've used is Olander, in Cupertino or
thereabouts.

Whenever possible, though, I just order from McMaster-Carr. Call before
6:00 pm and you'll still get it the next day, with no minimum orders and
very cheap shipping. Their catalog, which is now on the web
(www.mcmaster.com), is extensive and a great primer on a thousand topics.
