Better get busy, Bill. Time's a wasting!  ;)
 If anybody is interested in tins, I go through Altoids pretty regularly. I can start saving the tins.

1.Mwirwicki
2.Wizardgoat

Anyone else who is interested I wouldn't have time to get anymore made up before the Classic but I can make more after and ship if needed...Thanks again....Bill
