I looked this up and this is probably the best example I've seen of the low 
demand bit. I will say that if someone wants a smartcard reader to try and 
develop for it they should post an email. Heck I have a brand new one I got 
for free from amex a couple of years ago I could send someone. Sure I'd like 
it back eventually. :)

I have no problem donating equipment I've even brought stuff to the linuxworld 
when requested to. I'm going to make a habit of asking if equipment is needed 
for the booth.

Now this is what I'm talking about. Good job. :)

And we are working it out. :) I'm gaining a much better understanding of the 
gentoo dev policies and thought processes than I ever could from the docs. 
Hopefully there are others getting benefit from this thread.
