Another interesting thing -- not the same as this -- is what happens to the upper-case Omega some documents use instead of spelling out ohms; some software turns it into W. I could have SWORN I'd see a 1000 W resistor on a modem card! Cortland --- This

Just don't talk to some old purchasing types about k. It doesn't mean base 1,000 in purchasing land. More like base 1,000,000. I ordered some resistors in qty = 1k. It got kicked back to my supervisor because (1) when I multiplied out the final cost, it was wrong and (2) there was no
