[Novalug] Fwd: Learn to Solder - Mintyboost Kit (Oct 9th)

[Jim Sheafer]

I just want to put in my two cents.

I built a mintyboost and carry it with me all the time - it is a great
product that has saved my neck more than once.
Ladyada/Limor is a geek's geek who really digs into a problem and makes
product kits that are better than you can buy assembled.

I highly recommend the kit - and therefore this kit build.
