I could not resist to buy one from him last sunday... but at 37.99, now 
he has them at 35.99 - and some also at the previous price!

Anyway, he has a funny paragraph at the end of the announcement, stating 
that the stability measurements are limited by the stability of the Cs 
reference, but results are a significantly improved when comparing a Rb 
with another... sigh!

Javier
