Yep, especially since IIRC just a few days back the web site sounded 
as if there was still quite a lot missing, even towards the $27,500 
mark which Blackstar made possible. So it's double impressive as far 
as I'm concerned that they did manage to make it.

Congratulations to Dave and L�on (to name just London.pm-ers) for 
being among the top givers, too.

Cheers,
Philip
