Oz DIY-WB board & sensor group purchase

[Bruce]

You forgot the actual price for the sensors used.  Tack on another $10 per
board.   Then depreciation on the ones used for R+D.  Then the cost of
sending sensors out.   Mileage for the 100 mile drive to get the first few.
The interest I could have made just having the money in the bank rather then
floating around in never never land.   The sensors that I never saw again,
from guys that didn't bother to send them back when they gave up on the
deal.  Power for the PCs and lighting in hunting down clues.
  Come on Bob, you were just too nice.
Ah hell just round it up to cost+ $50 a board, plus $10 handling, and then
shipping.
  No one else seems really concerned with anyone keeping their word.
