Re: Smart box / Dumb box

Wally,

I repost below Mariss' ORIGINAL message regarding the cost of
the 'dumb' axis CARDS. You will notice in MY message (which you
reposted)and also shown below, I quote him quite correctly. Not
nearly a "mile off", I'm afraid... It's true that the axis BOARD (By
itself) is being obtained by Mariss for roughly $2.50...

I stand by my original post.
