I don't need compensation for the on-time design costs, those costs won't get 
me bankrupt :-) But a stock and shippping is too expensive .

That's where we need some "infrastructure" For example I heard Duncan 
Mac-Vicar Prett ask about promo-material some time ago. If we can come up 
with a way to handle these requests than please let me know. I'm more than 
willing to pick up these requests and act on it.

Is this the way? Is there no bank-account from the eV where money can be 
transferred to from all over the world.
