The folks are going to put together for me for 25 Rands (about US$7) one of these. I'll then photograph it and send these over for comment. A thumb-suck quote for a production run of 1000 is between R18 and R25 each (3.5 Rands to the US$ approx). I've asked them to make it about 20cm (8 inches) high. They are used to making promotional material, so working from this picture won't be a problem. I would please like some confirmation that I am not going to be in the poo for busting copyright on this. I believe this is OK, but something in writing (email) would help. How does this sound? If the production goes ahead, who will fund it, and how many will be wanted? M -- Mark Murray 46 Harvey Rd, Claremont, Cape Town 7700, South Africa +27 21 61-3768 GMT+0200
