Eh, I feel bad calling these "hardware," but I suppose it fits.

Somebody wanted to know where to get 'em.

For anybody who doesn't know what these are (edit: I be ashamed for not reading the article), here's a good link:

The bit about Pink Sweets in that article is hypothetical. It's a 'it would be awesome if Pink Sweets used them' thing, not reality.

Fixed. Need some sleep, bleh. Thanks, though.

I'm fairly certain those are phone cards too. Sven can you confirm? There are definately no special IC features of the cave PCBs, otherwise I'd know about it.

Maybe Sven is thinking that the magnetic strip constitutes an IC?
