[sdiy] Organizing Components

[Scott Stites]

Careful with the non-conductive plastic drawers - sliding them open/pushing
them shut makes them fairly effective static field generators (in the eyes
of certain components, they may as well be Van der Graaf generators).  I
don't have any qualms with using them for storing caps, resistors, nuts,
bolts, screws, candy etc., but my semiconductors are kept well away from 'em
as a general rule.

Cheers,
Scott
