Hi,

For MY successful MMC, i did use those exact resistors.  MY friend on the 
other hand did not have 25$ to spend on a minimum order.  But as it turns 
out, he ran out of his Radio Shack resistors and began to use some of mine.  
Mine lasted much longer than the radio shack ones.  BTW, I had a feeling 
that i was spelling "resistor" wrong before, oops, thats what i get for 
starting this topic at 2o'clock in the morning.  Oh boy, i feel really smart 
now!lol.
