	Actually, I don't feel upset about it at all.  I bought one
of the fire sale kits as well (although it hasn't arrived yet).

	Personally, I'd MUCH rather have the kit version of the old
reliable board at a good price (which is probably lower than what the
new one will be, I bet).  Their note said exactly what they meant, that
they were not going to be producing the old one, and wanted to clear stock
for other things.  Considering their past history of being heavily involved
with packet, I ASSUMED that the other things would include packet equipment...

	What they did was convey a large amount of useful material to a large
group of hams at what probably amounts to cost or only a little more.  My
high opinion of TAPR stands.  They're not out to rip anyone off, they just
don't want to get stuck with a lot of parts when everyone starts buying
Heathkit TNC or some such.
