(Sorry if they were covered already and I didn't read through the thread carefully enough.)
BTW, it's too bad that they can't be on display at places like the Hollywood Sony Style or Borders... gotta figure the rich and famous would grab one and not even blink at the cost!

Thanks for your interest Bob!
Shipping depends of the distance you live from Montreal. Houston cost $23. I have no idea about US taxes. A good carrier like Fedex usually can help with this. And I add $5.00 for boxing.
There are two switches onboard. One is manual and the other is a cover controlled failsafe. As soon as you close the cover everything's off.
I weighs about a kilo boxed(2.2lbs)
The finished box has a felt covered metal bracket maintaining the top. When I get a reader for measurements I will add a sliding pin that will enter the lanyard slot and lock there. The reader will be maintained in even if you flip the box while it is upside down, while open.
I'd like to be rich too but it won't be with this project!
