Re: [106attendees] Power strips ?

[Toerless Eckert <[e-mail]>]

The idea was not to have different strips for differnent countries, so
drop the factor 5-6.

4000/6 * 10 USD/strip (cost in china) = 6666 USD.

Price for buying once is IMHO not the issues for a sponsor, shipping cos
by volume might be. Strips are not that bad, but the cables for each
of them adds to volume in a way thats hard to calculate.
