Exactly !

I remember I ordered a bag of 1000 unsorted resistors from a company
called Pollin Electronik (German list members may remember them),
and then I would use whatever values I'd find in this surprise package.
Open the bag, spread it out on the floor, select the resistors in groups.
I had one drawer for each *decade*, i.e. one for 100R to 1k,
one for 1k to 10k and so on. Hey what do you call that - "E1 series" ??

Ok, sorry for going into Neandertal Memories mode once more,
but yes, those were the times.

Anyway, if you ever come near Nuernberg, make sure to drop in !
