Hi Joe,
I confirm receipt of funds.  Thank you.  I'll order it at the end of this week so I should receive it the beginning of next week.

> Hi Everyone,
> I just had a thought and checked Altera.com and although the DE-0 Nano is $86, the shipping to me is only $3.22 by USPS First Class
> Mail, so I's say $86 + 3.22 = $89.22 or $90 via Paypal.  $90 compared to $105 sounds much better to me and Altera is in the USA!
