<DIV dir=ltr>We have 200 pairs we are giving away on Monday. We have
probably had 200 phone calls just in the last couple of days from people looking
for them. Asking for 20 or 50. No matter how many NASA glasses
anyone has it is very clear to me that there will never be enough. My
impression is that most libraries have already given theirs out or are holding
them for Monday. We were excited about this but are rapidly becoming
frustrated. I am curious what other libraries are doing and how it has
gone.
