Randy,

  Thanks for the tip.  Being in the US, I don't generally consider 
overseas suppliers, because of the shipping times, and thr shipping 
costs invovled.

  And yes, I have seen similar pricing from US vendors, as well.  I was 
thinking in term sof the average hobbyist, who often purchases things 
like resistors one at a time from a shop such as Radio Shack ()or some 
equivalent).

  As it turns out, price may be the only issue on which I *am* correct.  
Ah, well, I am iused to having my foot in my mouth (I have even learned 
to pass on condiments).
