It does? Then PLEASE find yourself a working brain.

Sure, all they wanted was a place to sell lots of their monitor
assemblies and complete monitors, as well as tap into government
contracts. Have you ever opened one of their TEMPEST rated CGA or VGA
monitors?

Steven and Charlie Nudo are two peas in a very, very rotten pod.

Oh, pick on me now.

At least you didn't invent me.

It's an honor to be misconstrued by such as yourself. Really!

Legitimizes my entire life.

I doubt that anyone has ever accused you of being legitimate.

He's not. He's Charlie Nudo's ******* spawn...or is it the other way
around?

Wise up, guys. Unbuilt Heathkits are collector's items, far more
valuable than a built one.

Bill, W6WRT


Yep. Just keep watching this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6624140065

My guess at the final bid: $707.63

jim menning




Darn, I was a little short. Winning bid: $787.77. But I'm still not surprised by
that.

I don't think I've spent that much on everything but 3 of all the
electrical audio and TV widgets I own! I MEAN INDEED, the last three
put me over maybe by 150.00. ALL my tubed TVs, radios, Sony sets,
Stereo gear, Speakers, computer and embryonic computers and parts
sets/future repaired sets.

That guy's just loco. I'll make up for him and go snag a pair of 3-way
vans to transplant Pioneer and Jensen into and hopefully a Philips High
Fidelity Laboratories receiver in really decent working shape for under
15 dollars. Then I'll keep saving for an Emerson with SW I really like.

If I don't get my Teac dubber to stop eating tapes after
demagnetization, I'm going to build a booth and target and charge the
neighbors for chances to shoot it GRRR It ate my Joan Baez GH tape
dammit. That was despicable...oh well. And YEAH, I know somebody isn't
paying 800 bucks for a stupid kit. You go get Elliot Ness, I'll call
Joe Friday, somebody get ahold of Dick Tracy and Commisioner Gordon
nudge nudge a wink's as good as a blind bat, know what I mean?

Later.
