[Heathkit] OT - Imitating other designs..Microphone type found

[Dennis Berry]

Hey guys, I did not mean to create a lot of off topic email and was not
saying anything negative about any one person.  I was just making a comment
that it seems to me we (collective countries) have all done our share of
copying others designs, looks, etc.  It seems like everyone's quality goes
thru the toilet at some point, then when customers get fed up and quit
buying, it gets better again.  Cars, dishwashers, radios, you name it and it
has gone through its cycles.  Hopefully quality standards are better
worldwide now and we are all better off for it.

However, I must beg to differ with the comment below.  I think the last
vehicle of any worth was a beautiful small block original Cobra I saw at a
gymkhana back in the late 60's.  Geeze that thing could move.  I marveled at
what the big block must have done.
