Indeed is a great idea. If the new list admin is reading this he could
consider it I hope.

Just a word of warning here: As for the content on the Heath reflector,
virtually zero content has been about Heath's computers.

I've been a member for at least a year now. Mostly the amateur radio
products are discussed (seems to be a lot of hams in the group); next in
line of discussion are Heath's test equipment products, then come their
audio items and finally their weather stations and electronic clocks. There
are at least three or four folks from the reflector who know about Heath's
computers that I've talked with. Otherwise, the folks are really great and
offer a lot of support for the folks who have questions about Heath stuff
or need parts/advice.

I'm a Heath nut with a couple of H11's, and H8, an H/Z 89 several H/Z 19's
and an ET3400 microprocessor trainer (6800 CPU) plus a sizeable amount of
their test equipment primarily from the 1950's and many operating/assembly
manuals in my collection.

Regards, Chris
