cograts to all the winners
i was just in chandler AZ 3 weeks ago.. i wanted so much to goto FRYS electronics place, but 25.00 for a 1 way taxi is out of my budget.
was stranded at the sheraton wildhorse pass and resort
i know i didn;t spell that right, its not like i am there everyday
anyway i was there for a class / test for the week..
my work wouldn't spring for a rental car tight wads..
so i didn;t get to see any of the sights at all..SIGH.
maybe next time if ever, i might have better luck

Vern's Workbench
As I noted in an aside to Vern, the surface of his workbench is identical to the workbench I used back in the early 1970s. A photo of it is at http://www.sunandsky.org/MITS_History.php
