Re: BestPair III now does 0.1%, 1% and 5%

["Joel Kolstad"]

Silly question... is the usage of "E24" for 5% resistors, E96 for 1%, etc. 
common in Europe?  It doesn't seem very common in the U.S., as far as I'm 
aware.

Nice table listing the standard EIA values: 
http://www.logwell.com/tech/components/resistor_values.html .  I like the 
commentary about how E3, 50% resistor values are "no longer used!"  I never 
knew such "bad" resistors were made... although I suppose that these days you 
could probably find IC processes where tolerances were that bad (but with 
excellent ratios, of coursE).
