Heh, that's been a notion I have had for a while. Opening an all-night shop somewhere in Silicon Valley that sold patch cords, memory sticks, disk drives, maybe even common router blades, optics modules, fans, etc. Sell it for a bit more margin than the going rate for the "day" shops and ONLY be open at night/early morning, say 7pm to 11am. Maybe do some "remote hands" work, too.
I've repeatedly asked $BIG_COLO_PROVIDERS to offer a vending machine in the lobby next to the one with sodas that sold Cat 5, Fiber, SFP's, USB sticks, and so on. Even at a moderate margin I suspect it would be quite profitable to them, and quite welcomed by customers who show up in the middle of the night when nothing is open and need parts. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () ufp org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
