Don't know if any of you have been to your local hardware store to get a 6-40 screw to replace that one that fell on the floor and can't find.  If you have, you were no doubt disappointed to find there weren't any.  

What's the solution, I don't know other than don't throw away any that you do have. Supposedly at one time they were used in guns.  I got blanks stares from the guys in the gun shop I stopped by.
