Semi-OT:Storing electronic parts

To minimize time spent searching, of course, you'd want a drawer for each value. That makes for a lot of drawers, though; myself, I use a drawer for each third band colour (ie, the exponent in the floating-point value encoding). Caps, too, I sot by order-of-magnitude. ICs I sort by individual part number, but lack of drawers has made me double up some parts, so that a given sorting bin will contain more than one number. I've not seen any such, but I don't use very many static-sensitive parts, and the ones I do use I usually leave stuck into anti-static foam when I pop them in the drawers. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
