  Whilst understanding that Tom is pooh-pooing the practicality of
getting down to $1 a board, it seems to me that if it were to be
practical at all, there is *no way* you would *ever* offer them as
"single qty".

  I note the local electronics shop now sells resistors only in packs
of five, or twos for the large ones (as Tandy = Radio Shack always did).
This seems to me the only sensible approach.  I can't think of a time
when I ever needed to buy one resistor; for whatever reason I wanted the
one, it would always have been sensible to have the remainder in stock
for next time - to avoid a trip where possible.

  If you were making these adapter boards (and I think they should be
made), you would *never* want to ship less than ten to anyone.  At that
rate, they should still be cheap to do.
