The Geek Group has been working with a local neon guy and we're looking at 
setting up a group buy for director tubes. They should be about $50-60 each.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change 
the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.
