Mabey Hui has become better then when I bought mine. But when I bought mine it
took forever to get here, when I eventually got it the box was it extremely
poor shape. I sorted all of the parts for assembling the HB and I found some
of the parts missing! So I tried to e-mail patrick and tell him with no
response. And I bought the newton labs IC 3.1 with the kit and I believe he
only had one key, because it had his name on the key, not my name. If you are
buying the software I think your name should be on the key not the person you
bought it from.
Anyway, gleason researh is closer to boston than hong kong.

| Peter- I had a similar experience with Hui. Our HandyBoard kit arrived probably one month after confirmation was received from his store. We did not find any parts missing, but there was another deal with Hui's kit. There was a little note attached (...) (25 years ago, 7-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| This seems strange. I bought my board (assembled) from patrick about 8 months ago. It arrived within about 3 days (to Australia). I was given my own IC keys and registered to my name. Email response was very quick, normally only a few hours, and (...) (25 years ago, 7-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
