hi!  personally i don't see why not, the machines look awesome!  but i
haven't looked at it carefully, so don't take my answer as a yes until
more people replies :)

other vendors have offered to place a small donation to us on every
device sold with parabola, is that something you do?  we aren't able to
receive donations currently, so maybe it's something to revisit in the
future.
