Hey Christie,

I wanted to pass along a link for some good-looking and unusually hackable
RFID credit card readers on eBay - $25 buys a used PayPass/ExpressPay reader
with serial output and a (socketed!) PIC16F627 running the show.  No PSU's
but an onboard bridge rectifier into a 5V regulator leaves plenty of
options.

I figured there's probably folks at NB who would be interested in messing
with some RFID credit card stuff so feel free to forward this around -
there's a whole bunch up for sale so could be a good experimentation
platform for anyone who wants to mess with credit cards.

Cheers!

Chris
