No way...do you need a code or something? I can't believe this...they could probably pull in enough "free" sales to have owned a small country. Shopping spree day for everyone on the internet?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>Heh, we seem to have brought their site down. If I'm able to ever get<br>
back in, can I get an Arduino setup for ~$100? I've wanted to get<br>

cash set aside...<br>
