A final broadcast message on this subject:
Enough folks have stepped forward for me to form a consortium to own one
of these kits. If should arrive by the end of next week.
The arrangement we've arrived at has two options:
1) Join now for $50 which grants lifetime (short term) borrowing
privileges, or
2) Rent (again, short term) the kit in the future for $20/day,
$50/week.
If anyone else is interested, please contact me by "reply" not "reply all".
Cheers,
--Gary
