[sdiy] I Invented a New Electronics Symbol (I think)

[Scott Gravenhorst]

Actually, my first attempt was similar to this.
I had a resistor inside the box.  If this is
a standard, I will use this one.  I had never
seen it before, so I made one up.  I like the
resistor because of the fact that it works 
somewhat like one.  Is there a site where all
the 'official' symbols can be found?
