[BillingsLUG] Update on Raspberry Pi bulk order possibilities

[dan]

If you read through the forums, these guys seem pretty reasonable.  I
suspect that we could negotiate a combined shipping deal from them.  Maybe
just an arrangement to all place our order on the same day and to the same
address and them box & ship them together.  Yellowstone Systems computer
shop in Billings would gladly handle distribution.  Also, I am able to ship
items to carquest stores through my other job @ American Welding & Gas at
no cost so I can get free shipping to most everyone on the list.
