At $49 US, it sounds worthwhile, even if shipping adds more. I'll chip
in $25 towards it.

Speaking of shipping - we should probably ask one of our US friends
to gather the stuff (eg any Storageworks units or RAM) before overseas
shipping to us. Might not be worth it for a card like this, but if it's
not going to come in under the tax free limit anyway... <shrug>
