[Boatanchors] Resistor Size

[Charlie , W5COV]

I have bought larger wattage resistors from them recently and they are 
small. Never had a failure and it is no mistake, since one of the orders 
just came in yesterday, with the smaller physical size 2W & 3W resistors.

Pretty soon glowbug through hole parts are going to be SMD size.

I remember the first small physical size high voltage electrolytics that 
I got.

Times R a changin......
