Gary as treasurer and board member should be able to hit reply at once. 
Did we set a top limit? I guess it was 1000,- for VisCom at some point 
(or was I dreaming) and I'd be happy to have Gary spend 5k on this kind 
of thing. We have to be more efficient with things like this. If this 
has to do with trust, yes I trust Gary.
