Thanks for the link, Rich!  Now I can easily id all those resistors I have without having to look at the written chart I have in one of my radio shack books.

Great link from you too, Cacole.

Another good one is the Handy Converter, which will convert scales, measurements, Ohms law, and many other functions.

For those not familiar with resistors. Select what you want and the colors will show up on the model. Depending on the source you buy resistors from, all values may not be available. At least this will help you understand resistors. Store the link in your Favorites folder.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
