[TriEmbed] Mouser goes above and beyond

[Pete Soper]

Just an anecdote to suggest that Mouser knows how to demonstrate 
electronic device packaging. I wish I had a photo, but I don't. You'll 
just have to imagine a cardboard box, and inside that box an antistatic 
bag, and in that bag a whole bunch of other bags having one or 100 
individual components. Except for one other thing: A 2" diameter, 6" 
long sausage of bubble wrap with a 2"x5" emergency orange and black 
"FRAGILE" sticker. Inside the bubble wrap was a plastic bag all wrapped 
up. Inside the plastic bag was a 15 watt ceramic power resistor that 
could level a very heavy piece of furniture in a pinch without suffering 
any damage. I want to believe there was a person at Mouser who was 
dancing from one foot to the other while his/her side kicks laughed 
their heads off as the power resistor was packed as if the shipper was 
going to just kick it out of a plane in the hopes it would come down 
from 35000 feet and straight into my chimney,  bouncing many times, but 
coming to rest without harm.
