I'm wondering, without creating flame bait, the
pros and cons of
keeping a computer kit versus assembling it?
I have an unbuilt Sinclair ZX81 kit that I'm toying with assembling.
I also have a TV Typewriter-6 kit. I bought the TVT6 for my KIM-1 and the
ZX81 I got in a trade.
Two questions;
Can you buy a working unit without too much trouble?
How important is it to you to build the item? If you just want a functional
item, leave the kit alone and buy a working unit if you can.
OTOH if the kit is common and working units rare, reverse it.
