Hmmm, How much memory does this thing have?
1kb? 2kb?

Using Firefox 3b5 without the adblock extension makes me realise just how unusable and visually assaulting this site is with ads.

I think it's pretty cool but I have to agree that it's a little steep for a kit. Back in the day kits were cheap because you had to do the work. Is HeathKit still around, heh.

@blackwand: That kind of crazy American overreaction would never happen on the London Underground. They just shoot suspicious people over there.

"Mind the gap" has taken on a new meaning since reading Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere.

I'd recommend putting a "This is not a bomb" sticker on the back or inside

@xtremesniper: Oh man, my thoughts exactly. This thing looks terribly sketchy. Those switches are very retro-bomb.

That things totally awesome. It's got no screen and it's monstrous! Totally trumps this deal [www.woot.com]

I would probably not take that to the underground or even an airplane. Definitely would look suspicious if you happened to open it up.

@skittlzncombos: you aren't kidding, maybe they'll have the equivalent of the TSA MacBook Air video... or just arrest and detain you...

Seems like a surefire way to look like you're holding a bomb or detonator of some sort.

This is ace. I'd tuck it in my coat whilst I hared about London in my trainers. But 'tis a lot of lolly for even a bodge job.

The daisy is really cool and I'd love to play with it - but goddamn, why over 100 dollars for the kit?! You can get MP3 players for like 40 dollars now.
