Growing up as a (young? future? wannabe?) engineer kid in the 90s, I immediately knew who the powerful old engineering wizards were upon walking into their house, because of the 'Heathkit' logos on inconspicuous devices. On more than one occasion, I would end up at a house party of people I didn't know, and then start hunting for whomever made those Heathkits, because I knew they would be an amazing person to meet, that could teach me something.
