Tiny stuff

[Phil]

Hi Alex

Good. I mean, not "good" as such, but at least I'm in good company.

If you found a 560 ohm resistor in one of your little piles, it's the one I dropped last night. Well? Quantum mechanics makes it not impossible.

Also they seem to posses some strange property where they can avoid or curve the effects of gravity.  I searched the nearby floor by brushing it with a 1 inch paintbrush into little piles.  I found lots of escapees from other projects, but not that damned switch.
