Yes, I agree with this - I have a pile I use here, along with other=20 values up to 10uF (at which point they start getting a bit more expensive) They have become a lot cheaper in the last few years, even 10uF can be=20 got for a few pence each now, so it makes sense to take advantage of this. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
