Dotcomformat

I did indeed misunderstand, Larry.  When I say I order this stuff often, I 
mean maybe once or twice a month.  Sometimes I can get a lot of it locally 
from a bulk dealer here in town (jacks and things are a often bit cheaper 
there...but more importantly, they are readily available when I need them).  
I'd have no trouble with anyone piggybacking an order from Mouser or someone 
on top of my own, or even maybe taking part ina group buy.  Probably best 
for me if I do that when I need a good lot of stuff.  I'm looking to do a 
fairly large project in the next couple of months, and that might be a good 
time for others to piggyback on one of my orders.  As you well know, many of 
the bits required to make this stuff are only needed in very small 
quantities, so discounts are rare treats.

On the Dotcom knobs: I have no idea where they can be found, other than from 
Roger.  Obviously, he has to get them from somewhere, but I have never 
looked for them.  I just get them from him when I need an exact match.  For 
non-modular projects, I often look to the local electronics surplus 
store...they have a couple of aisles of nothing but knobs, many of which are 
cool vintage gubbins.  I could spend a fortune collecting those things!
