    Okay, here's some research: I just went to ThinkGeek. They have a 6" high plush Tux for $8.99 USD. Plush Tux[^] Here's your homework: talk to thinkgeek, find out who their supplier is, talk to that supplier about Bob!

      Is that in addition to my evil Calc 2 professor's homework assignments? But honestly, you have Microsoft, Dundas, Seagate Software, and a plethora of others paying you money for advertising...and you can't get a little Bob plush toy? ;P I think it's time for somebody to up the ad rates. :-D

                          And what was the cost if you produced, say, one hundred? Maybe if we could pre-order (a sort of pre-registration that requires a mandatory followup, where you take our credit card numbers now and then charge on shipping or something) then you could have them made. I'd love a little (no more than six inches) fluffy Bob to keep my monitor company. It mustn't have any clothing though - no CP T-Shirts or web site branding - that is what the "foot tag" is for. We want authentic Bob's! I'd be prepared to pay I suppose £20 for such a thing, though probably more seeing as it would have lots of novelty value for me. Chris... :cool:
