Yep!  I have some pager motors that aren't doing anything.

I'll be at RBNO on Wednesday, and since it's the season for giving, I'll
make the following offer:

*** One free pager motor for each attendee! ***

(I might have to limit the freebies to the first 20 or 25 in the door).

In addition, I'll bring my pager-motor-and-X-Acto blade "Ouchie Maker" toy
that I leave on my desk at work.  (Comprised of two pager motors, an
ultracap, a desk-sensing microswitch, and four strategically attached X-Acto
knife blades.  Bloody fingers have never been so much fun!)
