[Elecraft] To inventory or not:

["D.R. Weiss KIØRP"]

I'd like to represent the opposing point of view.  For me, the inventorying 
part was time well spent.  I saw three great advantages to doing the 
inventory --

1.  I was not familiar with what all the parts looked like, so the 
inventory fixed that.
2.  When I got midway through a build and couldn't find a part, one thing I 
could be sure of was that the part was somewhere on my workbench.
3.  The inventory allowed me to note component values that differed from 
the instructions.  This was very valuable in the middle of a build when I 
was looking for one thing but had a slightly different thing available.

So to anyone questioning the value of the inventory step, I'd have to say 
think twice before skipping it.
