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

[Zippster]

Kip,

I have a couple extra of the RGB2VGA boards from my OSHPark order (I only need 1).
I can recoup some of my cost and you can build one for Richard without having to buy a whole batch.

There’s only one version, right?

- Ed

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.
