Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] [Fwd: Bluespace]
I think the "For Investors" part of the site tells the real story behind the

I agree with Thijs Struijs though, it's an impressive sub. Will they be
able to build and market it for $10,000 US.... Not unless they are making
thousands of them and selling them at Wall-Mart.
