The last time I went into a Heath-Zenith center, I was treated quite poorly by the salesperson when he discovered I was interested in a kit. I left and called the manager later to complain. He apologized. I returned some number of days later. A different salesperson treated me the same way. He was polite and helpful when I asked about the computers, then decided he had better things to do than help me with a kit. Needless to say, I haven't bothered returning to this store; furthermore, the reduction of interesting kits has rendered Heathkit useless. This is very sad, as the products they once offered were quite good, and were very nice to build. I've built probably two dozen kits from Heath. I'll miss them. -- /* * Dana H.
