RE: [noparse][[/noparse]basicstamps] Microcontroller Application Cookbook

Hi Ken,

That's strange, I tried buying this book at the parallax site and the Shopping cart shows following message:


Thank You
1·· LARGE - Parallax Stamp T-Shirt has been added to your order!


Any thoughts ?!!

P.S:
I discontinued the order and will proceed after I hear from parallax or you Ken.
