 I have too many of those :)

 I think the nomenclature used in the entire electronics industry is long
over due for a change. None of it ever really made since and there are
too many systems in use by different manufacturers. Having some of the
distributers cross references help because you simply look up the numbers
without worring about who manufactured it and the crossed numbers points
you to the right family of chips. I love both NTE and Philips ECG for
this. IC master is good to if you can afford it.
