And I'm impressed, Pam, that you know about Heath kits.  

I made a multi-band receiver from one of their kits in junior high back in about 1968 (as I recall it was not a great success) and about ten years ago got a bunch of Heath stuff from the estate of someone who built one of the first color TV kits they sold back when color TVs were a novelty (he had to build an oscilloscope and a bunch of otehr test equipment to make the TV).  I also got one of the early Heath computers in the package.  I was supposed to go back (to Macungie PA outside of Bethlehem) to get the color TV but didn't--probably gone by now as it was sitting in the garage of the widow.  She was going to put the whole lot out to the curb but her daughter (who worked in our office) suggested it might be something I would want.  I think she actually told me about her dad's collection of model airplanes first but those ended up going to a model airplane museum.  Her dad was on the cutting edge of the polymer film, rubber band powered, endurance flight airplanes and also did planes that used an clock mechanism somehow to free fly in one pattern until the clock timed out and then flew another pattern (I'm guessing the planes would fly in a corkscrew to gain altitude and then maybe go for distance in a straight line).

Deb -

I'm impressed you've automated your digestive process.  Was it a Heath kit?
