Michael,
Thank you for your viewpoints. Again, no offense. You just raised
an issue I had some bubblings about, and now you have enlightened me on
an angle I was only dimly of. As I do computer consulting for a
living, I'm still in the "businessman" phase of life. :-)
Hey, got the T shirt--in fact, I'm *wearing* it! ;-)
For myself, the way I justisfied the cost was as follows. I have
a IIgs that I paid around $100 for with the all accessories.. and a
CFFA card.. another $100. Then a monitor that cost around $400. So
I'm plugging a $200 system into a $400 monitor with a $150 device that
I didn't have to spend any time on. Finding this solution took many
hours, though, but that was my attempt at a contribution (hopefully) to
the Apple community.
And I think it was quite useful!
Of course, when you start figuring in the value of your time, then
all equipment investments pale in comparison. That's why I put all
hobby activities in the "labor of love" category. Put another way,
time spent "hobbying" is rejuvenating time, not billable hours. ;-)
I also understand that constructing circuits is not "hobby fun" for
you--which is perfectly understandable.
I am still attempting to find other solutions.. just for the sake of
finding them.
Outstanding--I hope we all learn something from your efforts!
