<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=696072822-25062021>This message made me
laugh, because, while I don't strictly install resistors in one orientation --
98% of them are perpendicular to the length of the PCB, but a few end up
being parallel when required for layout -- I do ALWAYS orient the stripes of the
resistors so that they can all be read in the same direction -- from
the top down in the normally oriented resistors, and from left to right in the
parallel resistors, when the board is oriented in the direction of my layout
file. In those rare instances when I put a resistor in backwards, I
will always desolder it and turn it around.</SPAN></DIV><BR>
