We had most of them. It will take awhile to replace the ones that were stolen. Some will not arrive on time, and we do have more shopping to do. It's still early, isn't it??

I find it somewhat ironic that one would have a pencil sharpener run by USB when they have a computer keyboard at hand... Thinking.gif


This also reminds me of that "product" Tacit was working on a few years back that would be operated I think by USB power.
