Dangit, I couldn't make myself wait. Just ordered another twenty of the suckers. Seven dollars including shipping, and the last time I ordered them, they were here in three days. They really seem to be a clearinghouse for bulk surplus parts, so I don't know how long their supply will last. I've bought a couple of things from this vendor, and been really happy overall..
When run through Octopart I see prices ranging from 30 to 60 cents per unit, even that is a pretty good price. (I only price out through hole. I am still SMD phobic)

This mean I get a signed copy of the new book?
