[sdiy] Organizing Components

[Grant Richter]

Regular part bins are about $2.50, you can get "Gladware" food containers
for about $0.40 each. They come in different sizes, are clear so you can see
the parts, take indelible ink and are stackable. Also the locking tops keep
parts from spilling.

Not anti-static, so no good for "Man rated" military projects.
