[sdiy] Resistor types

[James Patchell]

Generally, you want stable...which mean metal film.  Metal film is all I 
stock anymore...except for 10 and 20 meg resistors...I use carbon film for 
these, but only because I am way too cheap to purchase metal film resistors 
of that value (which are extremely expensive, if you can find them)....
