For a company that was built on, very often, selling poorly-designed crap to
people they have their nerve.

This will make the photocopied manual industry explode with attendant price
increases. Sadly it will diminish the value of
the decent pieces of equipment they manufactured many years in the past when
they were not so mean-spirited and greedy.

I must say a leopard doesn't change its spots. Last time I was in Home Depot
I saw the Heath line of garage door openers and home products and it all
appeared to be low-end Chinese made versions of the items made by quality
companies.

I also was amused at some kit company advertising in qst magazine this
month. It's advertisement is a near identical copy of the one Heath use to
run in the 1960s with its , David Nurse, sitting in the same pose and using
the exact phraseology used then. Is no one original anymore? Hopefully that
is where the similarities of that modern day Heath-wannabe company end.
