Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Hmm...How should I word the subject...
Well, I think that's a great idea! I would gladly join that club and $5 or
$10 ain't bad! I'd even help with the printing! So where's the clubhouse? I
have a tree fort!
Also, I think that the mass orders to DigiKey is great, because I for one
can't afford the shipping costs!
Anyhow, gotta go,
Signing off,
Rob Rix
