Or how about we skip the prizes, and Theo gets to do a bit of development once in a while, instead of making coffee mugs and signing CDs that are not even shipped out of the city where he lives? I thought the software and the ideas behind the software were enough "juice", or should I just give up even trying? Is trying to make good stuff oh so 1970? You know, like manufacturing stuff people want... or need... locally? Sorry, but I am not going to spend my time making coffee mugs.
