Just a small note of caution on ordering through Shapeways for those of you located in the EU. They do have to add VAT at 19%, which raises the price for 2 styluses (styli?) to almost $30.

I can understand that going through Shapeways is probably far more convenient for Chris, so I'm going to check into maybe ordering through them, but having the shipment made to a friend in the US, who can pop them in an envelope and send them to me for something less than the $4.75 in VAT. My friend, however, has a hurricane bearing down on her this weekend so I think I'll wait and see how she's doing next week before proposing this little service to her.

If someone else in France is interested in a stylus for $12.50, contact me and we'll "split" an order for two.
