then on for drinks at the pub?.
Why not sell packs of 10, or HELL even packs of 5?
Why not buy all the caps for your PSU at radio shack? your point is MOOT
because you were going to the PUB anyways, Lush. :-)
And YOUR point - if any - is elusive.

An optimist sees a glass half full. A pessimist sees it half empty. An
engineer sees it twice as large as it needs to be.

rest in
hell!
If I'm (to use your example) recapping a power supply, I don't mind an order with Mouser. But when I need a 10uF
electrolytic (happened
recently) I can drive for five minutes, drop a buck or so, stop for a
pint
at the pub next door :-) and go fix stuff. They
even had a 7805 I needed
for a project - less than $2, as I recall. Mouser would charge me more
in
postage.
