So far I have only given away about 10 sets of the 88 I get (though that will change dramatically next week at the AUUG conference next week), but I was thinking of giving some to local computer shops. I don't like the idea of giving it for free, so I'll ask them for $10 (to be contributed to the project) just so that some frisbee collector doesn't grab them. Comments?
