Vibe-check? If so, maybe we should burn some for RMLL, LinuxTag and the SanFran LinuxExpo (and some U.K. event?) and sell them at a 100% markup ($3 ea?) Simple rules--get 50 shipped to you, and you must return n + $d, such that n + d/3 = 100. or just burn your own ... we'll need a dangerous cargo label ...
