Re: Audi symbol (4 rings) key chains--anyone want one?

OK--here, again, is the key chain posting.  Those of you who have seen it,
please bear with me.  I'd like to give everyone a shot.  Thus far, I have 4
people interested, including myself.  The listing is as follows: 

acriviel@mailhost.ecn.uoknor.edu (that's me)
STEADIRIC@aol.com
dhead@sundial.sundial.net
Autobahn01@aol.com (2 of 'em)

If you would like to be added to the listing, please let me know.  My friend
says he needs at least 15 orders to get the price down to a reasonable
range.  If I get 10 people interested, I'll give him the go-ahead.  I'll
give him a shout today to get the approximate turn-around time and let all
of you know.  I expect it shouldn't be more than a couple of weeks, but
we'll see.  Thanks again.
