Again, I *like* the idea very much. I would love for you to show me a
way to make it economically feasible. Remember that as a member/friend
card it will also have to have personalized (member/friend name at the
very least) and it should be feasible to produce relativly small
quantaties fast. There is also the issue of updating the software on it
from time to time.
Maybe next year we'll have enough members and resources to make it
feasible. Right now I believe that we don't.
