Magnetic

Update #2 · Mar 26, 2012 · 7 comments

In the second week of our IT Barrier Tape Kickstarter we zoomed passed 100% ($5000) of our goal and are now at 150% ($7500)! We've decided to sweeten the pot a little bit - if we reach 200% ($10,000) not only will Paul Southworth draw a week of Not Invented Here this summer, but with every roll of IT Barrier Tape we'll also give out one of these handsome (and handy) 3.5"x2" magnets:

Consider this a combination of a sincere thank-you and an outright bribe to mail all your friends who fix computers for a living.

      Perhaps this is where I should mention my mother (the ultimate luddite) who actually did put about 75 referator magnets on the sides of her CPU (the case was made of metal so they stuck) because they looked so cute. And of course no phone support people could figure out why she was having so many problems because she never thought to mention the magnets. And of course when she sent the computer in, she took them all off before shipping. And much to their dismay she continued having the same problems when she got it back after they replaced the motherboard and hard drive!

      Have we made this complicated enough? I THINK WE HAVE.

      You say you want an additional $3 to the delivery costs requested on the right for international, and also "you can add additional magnets to any premium for $2 each (remember to add an additional $1 per magnet for delivery outside the US).", so just to clarify... if I put $31 down, I should be due 1 roll of tape and 2 magnets delivered to the UK?
