you're the lucky on - i'm #137 or something close.

On the note opf soldering...
Is there enough space in the unit to use chipset holders?? IE the little 'caddy'-type things for integerated circuits that means you solder the holder into place and don't have to worry about burning out the IC before it's even used??

If not, are the ICs being used good with resistence to heat??

I'd hate to get my kit at the end of summer only to blow out a chip that's really hard to get hold of.

PS - if it would make things easier, i would be happy to pre-pay for my unit as long as insures that i do indeed get one.
