Wrong...... NO WAY!
It's how Christmas felt as a child so no way it could be wrong, but you gotta not keep us in suspense!
What is it?

Maybe they are empty boxes he found in the dumpster?

And to think that company started out as a way to market a digital-logic chip based morse-code keyer kit published in a magazine "DIY" article. That's where the name comes from. Just never got around to changing it.

Makes me feel old.

At least the business was launched by a ham.

Let's face it, Nomad. We're all old now. All we can do is adapt to it.

I use Digikey over the others unless they don't happen to have what I need. But there is a certain amount of anticipation waiting for my components.

Today’s watered down version of Heinz Ketchup in a squeeze bottle doesn’t compare. If you want that same flavor and texture of yesteryear's Ketchup, you need to buy their Chili Sauce, a smaller bottle and a higher price of course. I prefer it, but I doubt the kids appreciate the difference. Whenever they’re over for a cookout, I let them have their precious squeeze. Keeps everybody happy….That's my adaptation.

I am restoring my Hallicrafters 38D receiver (tube set I picked up in 1980) and needed some caps I did not have in stock as I do not work on tube stuff very often. Next up will be my 1977 Technics SA-5570 stereo (more caps I did not have) so it turned into "I guess I should just reload verything else". Somehow I have had three HR 2510's come through back to back and they have some very specific size (dimension) caps needed and I ran low on them so....why not...
