Subject: [alt-beam] Transistor confusion


hey, i am confused, i went to the big city and stoped by an industrial
electronics store, told them i wanted some 2n3904's. bought ten of them.,
when i got home i noticed the package said: ECG 123 AP
dosn't say 3904 anywhere... is this a compatible transistor or did i get
ripped off?
ALSO:
went to radioshack, they didn't have any 2N 3904's but they did have
something called a MPS 3904 i looked at the actual transistor inside and
the lettering on it (very small) says: 2N 3904
so whats going on?
are the MPS what i want?
are the ecg 123 ap's what i want?
