RE: 0 ohm resistor
DIP switches are pretty expensive and bulky and unreliable.

But seriously, I use them in places where I have a spot on a circuit
board, and, due to a reconfiguration, I need a short instead. They
are also used when a design might be changed in production. If
your autoinsert machine is already set up for placing chip resistors,
then it's easier and cheaper to just throw in a roll of zero ohms
instead of doing a board redesign, or trying to place jumper wires.
Same goes for '1/4' watt resistors. I have a bunch with just a black
band around them. Epoxy encapsulated wire!

Makes sense now. Our confusion at work was why a 0 Ohm resitor vise a simple jumper. Now makes sense, logical I might add as to why.
Thanks very much again for your responces!
Good Day to All!
