I figure, they are widely available so I might as well make use of them. I'm also throwing in a bunch of monolithic transistors in case I feel the need to build one instead. Yeah, just order :-) .

I made one myself last night from raw transistors. Well...I think I did. I made an H-bridge simulator anyway. It only lights LEDs so far. Also, I'll probably blow out the transistors since I don't know how to read the datasheet well enough to see what max current they'll take. *Order* an H-bridge?
