Yes,
true - I found that Rapid Electronics sell a very useful resistor variety pack
containing 1000 resistors in 63 values from 4.7ohms to 10M. The number of each
varies from 5 to 30 depending how common they think they are. E.g. they have 30x
10K, 100K etc, and only 5x 830K. Price is ?9.75. I just *KNOW* I probably won't
want the 10M and they've put 20 of them in. Thought I'd start at the top and
work my way down through 6M8, etc.
