[ELECTRON] Maklab Shopping List... Help needed....

[Roy Mohan Shearer]

Richard at maklab has told me:
"As with above if you could think on the basis of 4/5 everyday
workstations (mid range equipment) then 2 more advanced workstations
then this would be a great help. "
I think sharing certain things like multimeters/ power supplies would
be more efficient than one per workstation..
