Sorry it this is a little 'late' but I'm still trying to get through
the digests that stacked up while I was on vacation at the beginning
of July.
1) I'm sorry to hear that kits are being dropped. I only order a
couple per year, and then generally in the November (my birthday) or
December/January (Christmas) timeframe.
2) The idea of paying $79.00 for pcb/bracket/front panel is great!
The front panel is often the biggest issue. I have a number of Cat
Girl PCB's, and with the untimely demise of Stooge Industries, I may
never build them as I'm not hot on making my own fron panels.
3) My 'mad money' has dropped SIGNIFICANTLY in the last couple of
years makeing it even hard to get modules. Since kits save money,
then let me get more for what little I had.
Keep up the good work Paul. I'll still be ordering no matter what, it
just may be every 2-3 years instaed of 1 or 2 per year.
