[dorkbotdc-blabber] DorkbotDC + Make:DC Workshop Pre-orders closed

[Tim Slagle]

Hey Alberto, please forgive my pickyness, but doing the math the
cost is (15*$35+/~$20shipping)/25 + $10 = $31.80 each.  It isn't
too much different than the $30 you said below but it will leave
someone ~$50 in the hole which doesn't seem right given the
volunteer nature of the effort.

Also, I would like to just order a power supply for each Arduino
rather than going through another whole signup process for a $5
item, which would bring the total to ~$37.  What would you think
about just charging $40 for everything, which leaves some money
for supplies like solder and wire?  That way it is an
ATM-friendly amount, and is also the dollar figure you mentioned
in the original announcement but now includes the power supply,
so people shouldn't be unhappy about the cost.
