Remarkably, the windows span the period before & after the Reformation, and the pre-Reformation windows mostly survived the iconoclasm of the Beeldenstorm. This one shows Philip II of Spain (against whom the Dutch revolted) & Mary Tudor in adoration before the Last Supper. Yet it survives.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

The campaign has 5 days left! We're only 11 backers from 100. I'm not holding my breath, but to think that many people would put their real life money down for something I wrote is pretty darn cool.
