[sdiy] Digikey bags

[Oren Leavitt]

I usually get my Mouser order the next day. I live about 40 miles from 
Mouser :)

Lately, they have been packaging some items like pots, IDC wire 
housings, etc in plastic trays with individual compartments. I'm finding 
these useful for sorting matched resistor/transistor sets.

As for plastic bags, I collect the ziplock ones in a box and donate it 
when it gets full.
