<div><span>Hey SDIY Team,</span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span>Sorry to interrupt all the Monty Python
riffing, but I've got a fairly unconventional question, which I would guess many
of you have also pondered:</span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span>What do you do with all of your Digikey
bags?</span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span>I just ordered 100 each of about 54
different values of 1% resistors for my two Dome filter designs, and I
transferred the resistors from the bags they came in to the bags I already had
brightly labelled in red Sharpie ink. Somehow, I seem to be left with what
looks like about 2000 empty bags. Some of the resistors were packed in 10
bags of 10 inside a bigger bag. Some were in 4 bags of 25 in a bigger
bag. Quite a few were in a small bag of 100 placed inside a bigger bag
with an identical label.</span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span>I can imagine blue Digikey bags flowing out
of my doors and windows like so much flood water if I make too many more Digikey
orders. I've already got shoeboxes of the damn things stored all over my
garage. I hate just dumping them in the recycling bin, or (heaven forfend)
the trash.</span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span>Cheers,</span></div>
<div><span>Dave Dixon</span></div></div>
