Should make a lovely set of sheets and maybe a few hand towels.

You know I was going to say something negative and bad, but when I read the actual listing they did a perfect job of not being pretentious. Basically admiting it was useless but hey its for a good cause.. anyway I just am saying I think they did good.

Evidently that banner has now been replaced by a 40' Ruby! If this auction goes well, they might do the same for Ruby next year!

I am sure John's wife would be much more forgiving if he bought a 40' ruby poster.

Wow, the bids on this are getting really high! It's over a $1G/$1K with a week to go. Some people really want this. I'd rather spend the loot on a Radeon X800 XT, but that's just me.
