Does anyone want a "Brain Board" for their Apple II (II+, IIe)?

I've been cross-posting this on a number of forums but it's not spam, I swear.

Over on the VCF there's a thread in which someone is trying to get 15 commits to purchase a run of Willegal's "Brain Boards". The Brain Board is a firmware card for the II that allows you to do several tricks that are difficult to do otherwise, such as booting up a IIplus or IIe directly into cassette Integer Basic, and it also offers a way to run a mostly-compatible emulation of the Apple I. (IE, the "Woznium Pack".) Projected price is $59.

More information on the Brain Board is here. If you want one yell out loud in the VCF thread. As of today it looks like the count is up to ten so we're almost over the threshold of motivating the creator to churn out another run.

Bump: It looks like we've hit the threshold (thank you to the at least one member here that's pitched in), but it's still not too late if you want one. If you *have* posted your interest on the VCF thread but haven't checked back yet, at this point we need to get email addresses for everyone so the board builder can send out a mailing and confirm that everyone who says they're in is *really in*. You can PM "appleguy" over there or reply to the thread.

(Or if you're not allowed to PM yet, I think the VCF requires at least 10 posts before it's enables, and don't want your email address publicly I'd be willing to pass it along if you PM me here.)
