Use the data sheet for the transistor you happen to be using ... in this
case, the Radio Shack package.  Not all 2N2222's are created equal.  Yes,
Dorothy, some are actually backwards from others.  Don't expect that an ITT
2N2222 will have the same pinout as a RS 2N2222.  Sorry. This has burned
more than one traveller.
