>How's that display board coming Ken ?Still 2-3 weeks away. How many of these display boards are people wanting?
The initial run will only be for ten of them, though if enough people stake
a claim early enough (this weekend), I may be able to get more done at the

Unfortunately sales have not been that great over the last couple of months,
so getting a whole run of boards done myself hasn't been viable.
