[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Synth chip (SN76477) Order Arrived

Sat Jul 18 22:32:59 EDT 2009 

The shipment came in. They ended up giving us a 50 cent discount per  
chip - pretty nice of em.

I'll bring them to the meeting on monday - so it's 8.50 per chip, 2.95  
per breakout + .80 per person for shipping.

Totals here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=tgUFXSiwfzy4v5xQpq6PO3Q

Cash at the meeting is ideal - paypal would be fine too but I need to  
figure out what they charge etc... and I'm lazy and haven't done that.  
If you want to do the paypal thing let me know.
