Yes, we were tempted to get these down to Rocklin but both of us determined it would cost a significant amount of money to transport them. And the customs fees would've been more than the equipment value in some cases, so it's best they stay in Canada. As Peter mentioned, the community at large really benefitted.
For those who like to collect stuff, I'm building a POD's worth at Parallax for the P2 Early Adopter Seminar.
And Publison Jim, you're going to remind me to send a box to Boston some time in July.
This whole thing has just got me thinking...... dangerous I know !
Probably you have already thought of this, but in case not, would it serve Parallax well to send a Quickstart board for free to every formal "hacker" site ? These folks seem to be in touch with eachother, so some master address list should be available somewhere.....
Presently they are mostly into the Arduino-like space, and it would be great for them to see another light. The Parallax/Prop light !! Hopefully you could get a whole bunch of converts, and enlarge your following.

It seems you found a good solution to the problem. I am so glad they went to local people.
Shipping would have been a logistics nightmare, based on your 20 pallet assumption.
I'm sure you made a lot of up and coming engineers happy !
Thanks for the donation and all you contributions to the forums.
