I'm now up to 42 sold, so I think I'll print 50.  The last 7 can
either be sold to people on this list, or I can give them away as Xmas
presents.

I thought of that as well, but there's only one slight problem with
that:  If I have money, then I don't have money.  Poof.  Money doesn't
like me -- it seems to run through my hands.  So if I ever do another
Gnus Merchandise Thing, they'll be long gone before that time.
