Heathkit

[Kevin Bisset]

Hey, you put it absoluely in a nut-shell Charles - the JOY you had when you
received them! And the reason why all the people on this list (when there is
no fighting and scrapping) are on it. I have never built a Heath - were far
too expensive here in New Zealand for me. But I run my hands over my SB-101
and my SB-200 and there is something about those "Green Girls" - I just love
them.

I can just begin to imagine from your mail what it must have been like for
someone when they received the kit - wow....
