have you seen how many controls are on the tracer city Paul?

(checking records.....accessing SQL database.........)

OK, I've bought about 4,118 NKK switches :)

And, more importantly, I have had *1* failure, and I think the customer 
whacked it.

As far as Mountain/Mouser switches: DO NOT, REPEAT DO NOT BUY THESE!!

They are absolute TOTAL CRAP, you can literally break them apart.

Here is MOTM lesson #12: You are FAR BETTER OFF paying for good parts and 
charging more, than buying cheap-assed parts and have field failures that 
get blasted all over the net.

And never forget lesson #1: pay somebody do build the boards, DO NOT SIT 
THERE AND SOLDER THEM YOURSELF. Need an example: Plan B.
