It's that time of the year for all the students working on electronics
projects to besiege (v. 3. to importune or harass, as with requests)
the net for solutions.  I hope this doesn't qualify....

I'm looking for a set of seven-segment displays I can connect to a
clock circuit.  Something with 4 or 6 displays, preferably *with* the
BCD-to-seven-segment decoders, maybe even with the colons.  I wanted
to post here before I went to sci.electronics.

Is this something I can pick up locally?  I've been to Radio Shack
and Capital Electronics, I told the latter I was looking for a real-
time clock chip and they brought me a RAM chip.

Thanks for any info, this is my first forage for electronics equipment.
