They are available locally:
http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_2139111_-1
but at a much higher price ($4.95.)
If anyone decides to buy in bulk and resell at NB, I would definitely buy
a few.

Jim Stockford and I have been trying to learn AVR programming (without
using Arduino infrastructure.) Is/are there any other interested
party/parties?
