Personally, I thought "yes" to myself before I was even done reading the post
I saw, whenever that was.  I love the idea of a community trying to do
something together like this.  I am still trying to decide if I want to buy
the SSH card, but whether I do or not I will be helping however I can with 
this project.  The only down side I see in all of this is the thing that
caused me to stop reading the a2 groups a while back: everybody seems to feel
the need to hate everybody else.  I don't know how it all started, but it
really saddens me to see it.  

To all the nay-sayers: this is not a vaporware
card, as far as I can tell.  As I recall, in the post I read, John was looking 
for help, and offering his thoughts on about how much it would cost.

To pretty much everybody, John included: please stop with the language.  It
really doesn't help with anything.  If somebody calls you names, or rips on
something, is there really a need to respond?  Let the future show what reality
will be.  Maybe we could get more stuff done that way...
