I know a chap who runs a small electronics company. He actively encourages his employee(s) to take sensible quatities of small components (resistors, capacitors, 2N3904s, common ICs, etc) for private jobs. His arguement is that if they are doing electronics they must be learning something (or at least keeping their hand in) and might have ideas or solve problems that will help the company. But then he's an engineer not an accountant... -tony
