I was/am also confused. However, things appear to be getting clearer
and I believe I mainly confused myself. So, apologies to Bill Shaman if
my emails have been giving him a headache.
My current understanding is that Bill has kindly offered to act as an
intermediate for those of us in Europe who wish to take advantage of
the 150 dollar offer. The single units have gone so Bill has to make
sure that he gathers at least 10 takers at a time in order to purchase
a 10-pack. Right Bill?
Here in Germany, Ralf Neerfeld is leading the effort to gather
sufficient folks to "order" from Bill so anybody wishing to to join up
should contact Ralf:
(or me and I'll forward to Ralf)
I do not see any reason why only people in Germany can join up (those
EC citizens living elsewhere would have to reckon with higher postage
costs and a slight delay) but, as I say, Ralf is the man.
Hope I've got this right and that its helpful,
mark.
