[mdlug] OT: single resistor source?

[David Lane]

And I'm not going back this christmas.   I was going to bring back wine and Eletronics.

I have to say that if you dont need resisters, capaciters or inductors Microcenter has very good prices.

All of the stuff from my last build was from Microcenter.

I was hoping I could find out from them where I could recycle my old monitors.  Yes in Calif you bet 8.00 for a monitor and an old computer.  But of course when you buy one you pay the 8.00 up front.

Because we're not in California?
