10 days is not too bad...  But paying $10 in shipping and sgd 5 extra for
the item would make me think twice about it. But on the other hand it's
always nice to support the little (wo)man instead of a major corporation.
But on the third hand Adafruit might not be considered a "small" store
anymore. But....

Many butts there, BUT  (pun intended) as Sir Mixalot said 20 years ago "I
like big butts and I cannot lie...."

Getting back to reality again...  When we at Hackerspace KL did a
"reseller" order from Adafruit a year ago or so it got stuck in customs and
we ended up paying a not too small sum to get it out from there.  And if
I'm not remembering incorrectly the discount varied from 0 to 30%
 depending on the items so the RPi might not be discounted at all.

Still, if you guys do an Adafruit order I might join you if I find anything
interesting - and then pick it up when I'm in .sg the next time.
