[Coco] Did anyone ever buy an NRI learning kit?

[Michael Miller]

My stepfather bought a CoCo 2 64K as a kit and assembled it for me for Christmas. I have no idea where he got it, and I had no idea you could even buy a CoCo 2 as a kit...

This old Popular Electronics magazine has an ad for it on page 18 and 19:

Learn on Your Own Computer
NRI training is more than lessons... it's experiences. You learn by doing, using the TRS -80 Color Computer to learn about control systems, programming, and troubleshooting. It comes with special computer -aided instruction programs to speed learning, is expandable for business and personal computing, and is yours to keep. And that's just the beginning. NRI's exclusive Discovery Lab(r) is designed to inter- face with your computer and special breadboarding card so you build demonstration circuitry, "see" inside ...

It looked pretty nifty - anyone have (or has seen) one?

John
