Subject: [alt-beam] Re: I may source a few gearmotors.
Yes I am still planning the walker kits, however you have to understand that
right now I'm completly occupied with the real world. I'm a senior in high
school and in the next few weeks all my MANY term papers are due. And these
aren't some cheesy-weesy term papers either, I'm in a program that not only
grants me a local, and State-regents high school diploma, but I'm canidate
in the International Diploma (good here, good in Japan- the program is run
for some place in Europe. Sweden maybe?) So it's really not any small
pickings. (Ask Ivar, apparently his school just started the International
Baccalaureate program also. Don't hear much from him do you? there's a
reason.) Besides that, SCHOLARSHIPS! (You don't think I can actually PAY for
college do you? I can't pay for a solarcell!) AND in a few weeks I get
admitted to colleges and then have to select and visit all my possible
college locations!. Oh there's more, I also have to study for my
International Baccalaureate EXAMS and Advance Placement , that are in May.
So it dosen't end for a while. Anyone who's willing to produce kits in the
meantime, be my guest. I have every intention of doing so, but I really have
to have priorities.
So, sorry about the delay. I do what I can.
