[sdiy] Resistor War !!!

[Happy Harry]

Non-inductive wirewounds are "less" inductive than the conventional
winding. Quite a bit less. Good enough ??? who knows.

We should all be very aware of the non-ideal characteristics of
our components. Caps with resistance, and inductance... Inductors with
resistance (VERY real resistance...) and capacitance... Resistors with
inductance and capacitance...

We just choose so the non-ideal characteristics do not bite us
in the @ss !

BTW... My apologies to those pedo and necro I mentioned... I'm
truly sorry.
