Vendor & GB Date

GB Date is yet to be decided. It will be a normal GB with enough for anyone who wants one!
Where I'm at and what will happen
- Another proto will be ordered, this one has some small issues
- If the second proto is good, GB Date will be set. The rest all works.
Add a cute cat to your signature
