Just don't talk to some old purchasing types about "k".  
It doesn't mean base 1,000 in purchasing land.  More 
like base 1,000,000.  I ordered some resistors in 
qty = 1k.  It got kicked back to my supervisor because 
(1) when I multiplied out the final cost, it was wrong and 
(2) there was no justification for buying one million resistors.
