I built a Heathkit, along with an Eico kit, a Scottkit, and a couple of Harman Kardon kits.

IT'S A TRAP!!!!!

In other not so new knews....

The LHC is exploring the leading explanation that mass arises from ordinary particles slogging through an otherwise invisible but pervasive field of virtual Higgs particles...or in other words...the rest of us are exploring the leading explanation that mass arises from ordinary peoples slogging through an otherwise indivisible but pervasive field of virtual Hogs particles, and most have accumulated so much baggage they are still standing on the platform cause the train has left the station...

My Second computer was a Heathkit H89 8088 computer with a Disk Drive!

My first computer, a SWTPC 6800 has a tape drive.

Heathkit is coming back!
