Yeah Steve,

I REALLY like that Paul is listing the color code for the resistors (although
I just use a DMM for the 1% -- too much hassle). You're right about the typo
in the 320, I think Paul may have posted this to the list when the module
came out.

You are also right about 2.2K being red-red-red. So red = 2 and black = 0.
With 5% resistors for red-red-red you get, 2.2 with times two orders of ten
-- or 2200. With red-black-red (hard to tell orange from red sometimes) you
get 2.0 times two orders of ten -- or 2K.

Still changing my MOTM from banana to 1/4."
