No sir, Digikey and Mouser (and I'm sure others too) sell them in very =20
low quantities -- select "Cut tape" in the parametric search.

For such low volumes, you may also consider trying to minimize the =20
number of different parts -- example if you need 20k and 10k =20
resistors, you may consider making the 20k out of two 10k's in series, =20
or vice versa.  On my prototypes, I very commonly make all sorts of =20
series-parallel "structures" out of the parts I have in stock, to get =20
specific values.

BTW, you should always get extras as it's very easy to lose these small par=
ts.

BTW2, I too like to shrink my PCB's as much as possible.  I use 0603's =20
with no problem, and can solder 0402's, but haven't used them much.  =20
Be careful with wattage ratings when you go smaller.

Cheers,
-Neil.
