Well I'd prefer to wait till the instructables contest ends, but if you're really worried about funds drying up in a week, then I can donate now. I just need reassurance that the money will be spent on something laser related if we win the Zing. My vote is the rotary attachment, and some raw material for people to use on the machine.<div>

Hey everybody, we reached the pledge for a FS Deluxe, let's paypal<font color="#3333ff"> <a href="mailto:shannon@scatter.com" target="_blank">shannon@scatter.com</a></font> today. Or shop around
and see if you can find a unit with those specs in that price range
from a company that picks up the phone when you call, and then
paypal <font color="#3333ff"><a href="mailto:shannon@scatter.com" target="_blank">shannon@scatter.com</a></font>. <br>
I added a column on the spreadsheet to keep track of who's fulfilled
their pledge:<div class="im"><br>

Folks, we've had enough pledged for a nice laser engraver twice in
the past, and we don't have a laser engraver today. We've had people
look for donations. We've talked about leasing options and compared
all sorts of products. The FS compares favorably. It's not a
financial strain for any of us and it will do 90% of what people
want laser cutters to do. If you don't paypal <font color="#3333ff"><a href="mailto:shannon@scatter.com" target="_blank">shannon@scatter.com</a></font> what you pledged on the
spreadsheet, this whole thing will fizzle out again and we'll be
having the same conversation in a year. <br>
<br>
I'm comfortable risking my $100 on this. And when the Lasersaur 100
Watt open source package is finally released, I'll put $100 on that
too. <br>
Go team!<br>
