[Coco] Current Status of the "Help Send A Fellow CoCoNut To This Year's CoCoFEST" Campaign

[Kip Koon]

Hi Richard,
I still have one unpaid order, so if he ends up not committing in a few days, then you may have his spot, otherwise you will be the first order of the next group of 3.  I would say who ever pays first gets the spot.  $45 for the RGB2VGA Converter plus $6 shipping gets the spot.  Who will win this little race.  :)  I look forward to building your PCB.  Thank you for your interest in sending a fellow CoCoNut to this year's CoCoFEST.

Is it too late to order a RGB2VGA converter? If not, I'd like to order one. TIA
