Ed,

The only problem is that the ends usually fell off in hard to reach
areas.  Just my luck I guess.  Murphy's Law:  IF EVERYTHING IS GOING
WELL, YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE DOING.  One of
Murphy's many laws, but my favourite!  Oh, by the way, the ones I buy
ARE store bought ones, just the actual Q-tip brand in the blue box.
They usually cost me $5 for 1000, or half a cent each.

Kevin;
Easy answer to that, if you go in there with a cotton swab, make sure
you
come out with a cotton swab. For the difference in price between the
ones
you buy from your Electronic Supplier, and the store bought ones, I'll
go
for the QTips.
Just my opinion.
