 super.  well it's cost us $1,500 for the PCBs and tooling, the parts
for the 10 samples *might* be included in that, i'll have to check.
although we've worked a deal such that if there's a reworking needed
we won't have to pay for it, we'd like to recover some of that $1500
so that we can re-use the money for the next thing that comes up.

 example: at some point we have to raise $6,300 to cover the cost of
tooling for the PCMCIA casework.  we found a company that is still
making Top and Bottom metal shields; they clip onto u-shaped plastic
which will need to be redone, obviously: the front face is different
because of the 3 connectors.  luckily however getting this plastic
done isn't on the critical path.
