Quo Vadis, Quassia?

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@ifi.uio.no>]

I've been to one cap-making place (I forgot the list at home.
Curses!) today.  They wanted NOK22 for 100% cotton caps with printing,
not embroidery.  Let's see...

  (/ (+ (* 22 1.23) 10) 7.2) => 5.1472222222222221

So these would be USD6 a pop.  (That *gross* markup goes toward paying
for envelopes and stuff.)  Including air-mail postage anywhere in the
world.  Well, if they weigh less than 50g.  Hm, they were light, but
probably not that light, eh?  Could someone out there who has a cap on
weigh it?

100g would be NOK20 instead of NOK10, which would bring the total
air-lifted price (to the US and elsewhere) up to USD7.

Cheap-ola, anyway.  Especially since the Norwegian crown is in a slump
at the moment.

But I want embroidery, I think.  Don't I?  So I'll check out some more
places tomorrow and see what I find.

(These were black caps, printing on the front, quite a long bill,
all-cotton surface everywhere, and the top was not divided into
sections and there were no "airing" holes on top.  Kinda narrow, in a
way.  One size fits all, though.  My guess is that they are not
sooper-dooper quality.  But they are NOK27, which is cheaper than
dirt.)
