Yes that was stupid - all the stores did that. Who the hell wants
to buy a bag of 200 8.2 ohm resistors.

I buy resistors by the hundred. Rapid were selling the 0.6w metal oxide
type I like for about 1p each by the 100. Maplin at about the same time
were charging 35p each. One reason I stopped using them. ;-)

We buy 5000 resistors for £3 a time. They are surface mount and come on
reels, but it's always worth going out of your way to get a bargain ;-)
