It's really irritating. The volume of information on Heathkit's amateur
radio products is nearly overwhelming, but the computer line is nearly
ignored. I would imagine that it's got quite a bit to do with the fact
that ham radio operators are massive kit builder freaks. (I can say this
because I'm one of 'em - KC7AFE *g*) It really ticks me off to see
computers as good as the H/Z series is being virtually ignored. I think
it's most likely due to the fact that "old timers" like us really enjoy
know what the hell goes on under the case and the new generation of geeks
is more concerned with what it can do or how fast it can go.

Hmm. Come to think of it, I've NEVER seen a TRS-80 Model II site. There
is a VERY good TRS-80 site at
http://www.trs-80.com. It's run by Ira
Goldklang. It's probably the single largest collection of software for
the TRS-80 series of computers that anyone has ever seen. He's looking
for a high bandwidth mirror if anyone is interested - I guess the site
costs him quite a bit to operate.
