[sdiy] Inverting Amplifier as a Buffer Output.

Hey Oscar,

I used to use A all the time, but now I use mostly B, because I found that
it is a helluva lot easier to lay out on the PCB, with or without the 10pF
cap (which I always make provision for, whether I use it or not).  I have
noticed no difference in how my circuits perform.

My $0.02 (probably only worth $0.01).
