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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>> 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.
