Can't go wrong with Alban.

RQP is good if you are looking for cheap but decent-looking, and fast. Great customer service. Alban's stuff is in a different category, though, quality-wise.

Congrats on a squire, Guy!

Hey man -- did you try swinging by practice and asking?

We haven't seen you in forever! Glad to hear you are still interested.

I'm not going, but I believe you might still find a ride at this stage. Post to sca-west and ask at Bart.

An average web programmer could do that too.. Also, Google and Yahoo both provide a maps api that lets you embed a map with flags and everything directly into your site.

If they don't ship it to your state it's because of legal restrictions..

Are you going to Estrella? If so, you can send them a note and arrange something, Thorfinn is planning on going (in a private capacity).
