All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

(We plan to start mailing these out in a few days, after we've, um, done all sorts of silly things with them.)

Never received address. Too late.

We have only a few left. We are still waiting for addresses from some people. Quite a few people asked for buttons but never posted to this thread so the count from this thread is not accurate. We also sent buttons to some people who did not ask for them. Once we get all the people who have asked for one taken care of we'll send out the rest, or we'll put them on eBay since they are obviously worth a lot of money.

xilman - very impressive prestidigitation!

You mean you didn't recognize the space ships and the blinker instantly?

Some of the others look familiar but I'm not sure of their precise identity. I think one may be oscillator of period 15.

Perhaps I should get out more ...

The whole assembly is a puffer.
