Re: FFB options

2009-02-13 by jneilnyc

I was happy to build the kits that I did, but I never got into
building modules as an end in itself, it was simply an expedient (and
cost-effective) way to get myself a modular.

Building kits was satisfying enough, but I don't get any enjoyment
from sourcing parts, and if the choice comes down to starting from a
PCB and a panel or just getting a working module in the mail, I'd
probably go with the latter.  Having invested 4 years in getting my
modular up and running, I'd rather put time now into working *with* it
rather than *on* it.
