T-Shirts

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

There's good news and there's bad news.

Here's the bad news:  Printing small numbers of shirts is not doable.
For instance, if I were to print batches of 10 shirts, the price per
shirt would be something like $30.  50 shirts would be $20 per shirt,
and 100 shirt is $13 per shirt.  (Yes, printing 100 shirts costs just
marginally more than printing 50 shirts.)  So I think I'll have to go
with the 100 shirt option.  I don't know whether I'll sell that many
shirts, although around 40 people have written me and said that they
are interested in buying shirts.  But you never know.

The good news is that there's absolutely no extra charge for printing
different shirt sizes, so you can order any size you want.  S, M, L,
XL, XXL.  

So.  I just don't have enough cash to print this batch, so we'll have
to do that pre-order thingie.  I've now written up an html page with
ordering information.

<URL:http://www.ifi.uio.no/~larsi/t-shirt/september.html> is the place
to go.  

By scrounging up all the money I could find, I need 30 t-shirts
pre-paid before I can print them all.  So, uhm, like, could y'all
order lots of t-shirts?  :-)  One advantage to pre-ordering is that
you can be absolutely sure of getting the size you want.  

When these 100 shirts are gone, I see no way of reprinting them.
(Unless I get orders for 200 shirts.  :-)  If I get 110 orders, I'll
have to return the money for the last 10 orders, because printing a
batch of 10 shirts is just impossible.

...  I've cleared the desk in my bedroom from the mound of paper.
Hey!  Now I can see what colour it is!  I've rooted out my old
Archimedes computer, my Amiga monitor and my daisy-wheel printer, so
now I can print address stickers.  (I'd better not write the addresses
by hand; even *I* can't read what I write.)  Gee, I feel like a proper
little mister businessman, what with my Home Office and everything.  :-)
