the pleasure of interacting with marketing, managers, suppliers and so
forth?

I forgot to mention, their free day last year ended up being 1 hour and 44 minutes to give away the $100K.

And Next year:
We are going to be giving away $150,000 to users and potentially $30,000 to charity. Our Goal: Get as many new people 
introduced to SparkFun as possible.

Cheers Don...
