Early warning

Early warning

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

Yeah; yeah; I know we just did the Gnus caps thaaang, but I'm thinking
of doing some cups (you know; kinda largish coffee/tea cup thingies)
for Xmas.  That is, sending them out early December.  For that to be
possible, I have to order them early November, which means that I'll
have to start taking orders in early October.  *phew*  Which is now.

But I haven't at all decided whether to do it or not.  I think it's
way too soon after the caps.  Should I wait until spring or summink?

I've visited the makers of the cups and gotten a price estimate.  The
lighter ones will cost about USD 7 while heavier ones will be about
USD 10.  My guess is that the lighter ones are more breakable, so the
heavier ones would be my choice.  I'm thinking black with, uhm, silver
printing.  Millennium Gnus.  (Quassia will be finished Novemberish.  I
want to get the Agent out the doors kinda soonish.)

So.  Whaddayathink?

You are kidding, right?  

Do you expect people to say they DON'T want a Gnus cup? ;-)

I would buy one a Gnus cup.  Count me in.

I'm also glad to hear that Quassia is scheduled for a quick
development cycle.  I think a lot of people will use it when
it is done.

But what about other TODO items?  At one time, you mentioned
IMAP support might happen during Quassia.  Are you postponing
that?

Go for it!   I can then replace my Sun Hot Java cup!

How heavy is the heavier one?  Would the postage be a lot if sending oversee 
(to U.S.)?

:-)

IMAP is quite important as well, so that would also be nice to have.
So we should get that in there as soon as possible to start testing.

Nope. But there should be a gnus-order-merchandise function, now that
Lars is going from one sale to the next.

My guess is that the heavier ones would be about 400g, which means
USD9 in shipping (Air Mail) to the US.

Well, it seems the cups are going to get made.  One note about silver
printing --- make sure you get the microwave safe metallic printing.  It
might be a little more expensive but not being able to microwave my Gnus
cup would suck.

Put me down for two of the heavy ones.

BTW, drafts is great so far...
