Thank you, I did not know that. The manuals go out of their way to state caps are not polarizes, therreforre I fretted about my directions. I will just arrange them for athestetics then in the future.

Actually, the manuals usually say something to the effect that it looks more "professional" if you make them all the same way. The fact is, that if you are paying attention to which why the resistors are laying... you are paying attention to the board which will result in less errors when you place the parts on the board. Besides... its just a good habit to get in to.
Hope my "soldering help" book did just that... helped.
