A little bit less expensive...

Yes, I am aware of the good ol' 1N34's but I'm currently ordering a bunch of parts from Jameco and thought I'd get the germs for there too.

Plus, they're matched!!!

I apologize, I apologize, I apologize. The devil will not leave me alone until I say this.

Matched? Hmmm... does that mean they're the same weight? Size? Manufacturer? Color? Density? Percentage of lead in the solder coating? Lead length?

I once knew a company that advertised 100% testing of their products. And they did too - they weighed every single machine and they were all within the weight spec.  "Matched", like "tested" and "guaranteed" are information free until you say what they refer to.

I guess I read the book "Doublespeak" too many times...
