If you're like me, you become a trusting soul and jump at Steve's parts
kit offer and hope that at some point there is enough interest for George
Scolaro to do another PC board run.  Having watched the pc532 from it's
public beginnings (although only recently jumping on the bandwagon), I've
become convinced that parts acquisition is harder than getting a PCB
(although economies of scale are more important for PCB fabrication than
for IC procurement).  However, once enough interest is expressed it becomes
economical for another PCB run.
    All you need is trust :-)
