Oz DIY-WB board & sensor group purchase

[rr]

Wow, the rules have changed. I can handle this. Since I now have a bunch
of boards the cost will be at cost + $20US. Now this is hardly anything
considering the amount of time & effort that we put into designing, testing,
changing, retesting, prototyping, doing a schematic capture, layout, dealing
with the board house, setting up a web site for orders, shipping.

I'm sure everyone will understand.

P.S. This is a test, a test of peoples integrity. We now return you to
your regularly scheduled program.
