partial P112 kits

That's my point. For me, soldering is a need-based skill: I have a specific need to fix something, and I'm generally not doing it often because most of the time something's not broken. Like playing the piano, it needs skill and a lot of practice, and for me the time payoff isn't there for something I don't need to do very much given that my day job has nothing to do with it and my systems are typically in good repair. I also think a certain amount of it is innate skill and temperament. An innate ability can be honed and sharpened, but some people just lack the basic manual faculty. I know I don't have it, although I can fake a reasonable facsimile on larger, simpler repair jobs. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser at floodgap.com -- Justice is incidental to law and order. -- J.
