Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Interseting, additional idea.....................
I hope someone will pick up the idea, or do something similar. I don't
have the cash to even try this for myself. I realy hope that someone who
does want to make these will consider the idea. I mean, it gives people
2 choices, and they don't have to even order 2 separate kits. It
seriously has to be the best solution between those wanting DIPs and
those wanting hextiles! I wish I could do it myself. I'd make at least
100 for myself if I could afford it. I bet I'd go through them like
candy too! I wish I had the cash for it!
