Thanks. My son absolutely loves stuff like this. A budding gearhead
engineer just like his dad. He's also good with a .22 rifle and hates
tree huggers. All this and only 10 years old.
Thanks again, I'm going shopping for Christmas! K

If I had had a gift like this as a kid, I think I would've been much
more enthusiastic about electronics lab in EEE.
If you have a Costco member****p, you might also want to check
out the "Space Explorer Pack" (not online). It's another sci-fi item
I thought would've been pretty cool as a young child or budding teen.
Quite a bit less cerebral though.
You should search online for that Snap Circuits. You might be
able to find it for even cheaper than $50 w/ free S&H & no sales tax.
