I've been doing that right along but I don't have access to my large collection of scrap boards. You know the reason!

Why not just send an order to DigiKey? 37 cents each if you buy 10.

Mail order: it will arrive in about two days.

Good point...I assumed you might keep some junk in the house too. I certainly would keep some parts items at home even if I had a shop/storage because you never know when something critical will go out at the worst possible time to travel (like say during a major blizzard)... Maybe I have a strange mentality about such things. Of course the spare for everything important mentality isn't helping me much. My main laptop melted down and my is higher spec spare of the same model will corrupt the HDD if I let windows update due to some hardware difference... I've been pulling my hair out for too long over this.
