FWIW, I do (seriously) have 10^9 ohms here. I think I
have at least one
of 10^10 or 10^11 (and maybe the 10^12 or thereabouts). Nothing higher,
though. You have to be darn careful handling these things -- a
dirt/grease track on the body will be in parallel with the resistor, and
will probably have a much _lower_ value of resistance.
OK... I have to ask:
What is the resistance of 1/4 inch of dry air?
What about 1/8 inch of fiberglass circuit board?
