Heathkit
By Jake, KD5JHW on Jun 29, 2013
Apparently Heathkit isn’t quite done yet. I thought they had gone the way of the $45.00 suit but a note on their “home page” and a “customer survey” be found at http://heathkit.com/survey/index.php/278489?lang=en suggests otherwise. But be warned, 1) it is a pretty long survey and b) it will “time out” on you if you leave it for a re-heat of your coffee and maybe just one more donut from the office next door. (Yes, I intended to switch from numbering to lettering.) But really, use the save function if you are headed down the hall to the bathroom. I had a really clever survey almost totally finished; complete with whiney plea for a job interview and when I returned from a momentary distraction by my boring day job, it was gone.
So, take the survey. Tell them how you really feel. Why can’t we get a decent cup of Joe in this lousy place! Tell them you’re mad as hell and you aren’t going to take it anymore. Or maybe you should limit your suggestions to realistic stuff like the really neato devices they should design and offer so that you could say, “I built it myself!” Personally, I am still supporting my earlier suggestion for affordable X-ray glasses and a machine through which I and a friend can travel through time.
YMMV
