I ordered mine from Pulster and although I was initially worried that I wouldn't be able to complete the order - I was travelling and needed to make a bank transfer via my Internet bank, which these days requires various extra gadgets - once I did so, the package arrived within about a day or so. So I can't fault the Pulster service at all! The only qualification that might be necessary here was that the order was delivered within the EU, so any customs issues will have been avoided. Had I needed to have the NanoNote sent to Norway, things might have been different, but then I wouldn't blame the supplier for that. Paul P.S. The "cartridge" idea is an interesting one. Of course, the software would be Free Software and people could easily enough clone or copy the cards, but the purchase price would of course be covering things like convenience, trust, support and authenticity rather than a "per-kilogram price" on the code. _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
