Amateur seismologist should build their own units, not only because it is =
immensely rewarding but also because it requires understanding of the very =
instrument itself.  Thus your point is well taken.

However, by providing our kids (future seismologist, amateur or otherwise, =
scientist, and engineers) with inexpensive, effective instruments we are =
providing a benefit that transcends self-gratification.  I, for one, =
commend John and Frank for their initiative to place these instruments in =
our schools.  Where perhaps, at that level, the focus shouldn't be on the =
instrument so much as the result, i.e., what is the earth doing today?

Regards,
John Finke

Hi Frank,
    I'm sure John Cole means well but he has taken the first step =

ruining amateur seismology as a hobby. ____________________________________=
