UNBUILT Heathkit H89 Computer Kit & Software

[Peter A Markavage]

Let's hope they want to receive the "Heath 'experience'". Your kids can
also get a lot of electronic experience and hands on by getting a $39 or
$49 Radio Shack 120 in 1 or 140 in 1 experimenter kits. There are also a
number of electronic kit suppliers still active and most of their parts
are probably not 20 to 50 years old.

Here's another perspective on the issue:
I've bought some unbuilt kits on ebay, some for what I would consider
exorbitant prices.
My motivation is to share the Heath "experience" with my kids some day.
Most (or at least a lot) of us had the luxury of learning the "hands on"
end of electronics with the help of the kits. I'd like to be able to
provide some of that access.
In an age where you need a microscope to see a resistor, these kits
provide a perspective the is effectively no longer available in "modern"
electronics, even if you are an engineer.

P.S. Of course, I'll have to be the "We" in "We won't let you fail."...
