That page is already there? This thing is VapourWare! :-) The operative word on the webpage is "Future" > You mean you will make it available for sale on your site? Whatever it takes. The only thing I'm unable to do is to support the manufacturing part; e.g. stocking components, building boards, etc. The GNUPIC web site fits well with the theme of PBK. So I'm willing to support and maintain a web page that serves as a focal point. If you or James Newton wish to do this instead, then that's fine with me too.
