I think I smell a business opportunity here.  I just so happen to own one of
those plastic engraving machines, and a sticker maker.  The engraved plastic
is 1/16" thick, and I can make them anywhere from 1/2" x 1/2" (smaller might
be possible, I have not tried yet) up to 18" x 12".  Letter sizes range from
~3/16" to ~ 1" tall.  My stock sizes are 1/2" x 1 7/8", 1" x 3", 1" x 4", 2"
x 3", 1" x 10", and 4" x 10 ", but custom are available.  Prices in order
are: $2.00, $2.50, $3.00, $3.00, $3.50, and $12.00.  I may also cut list
members a deal by selling them at the price I sell them to suppliers for.  I
basically supplied our whole fishing fleet back home with the things because
they liked the flat rate pricing, instead of some letters per square inch
idea, which I have seen every where else.  The stickers are either 1/2" or
3/4" tall by however long you want it, and they are $0.25 / inch and $0.30 /
inch respectively.  If you are interested, email or ICQ (# 23350541) me
directly and I'll try to get you hooked up.  This may help me pay for a much
wanted tranny rebuild ( 091 starting to show strong signs of the 1st - 2nd
pin stretch) or an engine transplant. If you guys think this is a waste of
band width, then please rebuke me once ( I detest those strings ripping a
single person apart over a little wasted band width ) and I will fall back
into my place in this list.  If you want my business, then I thank you in
advance.
