Dear friends,
Lauren is in big trouble again. Good thing I decided to work from home today - she's giving away the store for Parallax's 22nd birthday! For you there's the Prop Proto Board at $22 (she even dropped the $.99 she usually has on prices). Marketing must have gone mad -- what a birthday party! We should start selling mattresses, furniture and maybe even cars with such deals.

Click on the home page for the link to all of the $22 products and you'll see some other goodies you'd like to have, including sensors, Prop Plugs, and even the BS2-IC.
. . . can't seem to disable the sale prices from here. . . login not working!
Sincerely,
Ken Gracey

I only wish it was Parallax's 10th birthday based on the prices..
But seriously this is good news; most businesses don't see 2 years let alone 22. Congratulations!
Ha! They sent you home on purpose, right?
> Sincerely,
Na, that wasn't sincere enough! But good enough!

Computers are microcontrolled.
Robots are microcontrolled.
I am microcontrolled.
But you·can·call me micro.
If it's not Parallax then don't even bother.
I have changed my avatar so that I will no longer be confused with others who use generic avatars (and I'm more of a Prop head then a BS2 nut, anyway)
By the way, I do not have a 4X20 display. I may also pick up another Prop Plug.

But seriously, congrats on 22 years of great business! I hope you guys see another 22(and more).
It would be fun if you posted some photos from the first year.
There just has to be several interesting images somewhere.

How about Cash for Clunkers? I have a SYM-1 , a couple of Motorola MEK6800DK2 kits, and some S-100 parts to trade for a tube of 40Pin DIP Propellers [noparse]:)[/noparse]
Congrats on the birthday!!· May·Parallax be here for many more years. I'll keep my cash going your way.

The Servo Boss, a 12 channel servo tester kit from Gadget Gangster.
Is that from the Waybackmachine? That's a great site.

The Truth is out there············································ BoogerWoods, FL. USA
Micro-SD Card – 1GB Item code 27978... Sale Price: $22.00 You save: $2.99
When you check out it it says "just kidding
See ebaY Item No. 290344406081, 1GB Micro-SD card, $5.39 USD ea. w/free shipping.
2. The serial LCD is a pretty good deal at $22.00. More so if they would multiplex the back light so it doesn't draw so much darn current! Why isn't this possible? The back light is user controllable via the SX-based back-pack. A fringe benefit is dimming at no additional hardware cost.
3. Next time please discount the prop-plug too! I think the margin on the prop-plug can handle it, big-time. It will really move more proto-boards. They go hand-in-hand for first-timers. I want to point people to this deal but I know most will not dive in as the prop-plug puts the deal above their threshold. The steep shipping and handling costs don't help either.
Ya-Ya; I'm in a grouchy mood today...
back and got "stuck" with them.. [noparse]:)[/noparse]
