Wiardgroup

I know this will make me sound like a communist or
something ... but...

Wiard kits or semi kits ???

I'd buy PCBs or kits with no warranty other than
delivery. Or offer a warranty at an increased cost.

The assembly and test HAVE to be a major factor in the
price.

OTOH this would allow people without skill to fvck
them
up and give the vendor (thats YOU, Grant...) a bad
name.

There will also be those who would put Wiard modules
in
the long black modules from hell (tee hee... you KNOW
who you are...)

What say ???
