So? Very little that we do with classic computers
makes economic
sense.
Surely given the choice between spending ?1000 on a kit of parts
and ?300 on a built unit you'd go for the built unit? The kit
of parts you would be able to put together blindfolded and with
one hand behind your back; the ready-built unit is much more
likely to have a fault to tax your little grey cells :-)
Paying such a steep premium should surely require a reasonably
good excuse and I cannot imagine that a routine soldering
exercise could possibly justify losing all the other useful
things that could have been done with the cash. There
must be _some_ tools you need :-)
