I/O ("eye-oh") is a computer term. OFF/ON should rightly become O/I.
I thought "I/O" was actually meant to represent "one" and "zero," respectively? In any case, I still think "On/Off" or "Power" would be clearer here, but I'm fine with whatever the group ultimately decides so we can proceed with the order.
I've done group buys before, but not one so large and where I have to do all of the shipping. Usually the company takes care of it, but not here for some reason. I have no problems doing it, I just need to get the bubble mailers and some printable labels. No biggy, hopefully.
I’m wondering if we should setup two major distribution points to lower shipping costs, such as the EU, USA (ME), and Canada.
Apparently Canada charges a "$5.00 processing fee ($8.00 for Priority Post) for each package to clear Canada Customs." Unless this is incorrect?
I have no idea what the EU or Other Countries Charge.
Peoples thoughts?
Does anyone know how we deal with the import / customs from the US to EU, Canada, etc?
I feel like we should donate a few dollars to the diyaudio website, as a thank you for hosting us and the GB? Would this be okay with people? If we have 100 panels and everyone chips in an extra 10 cents, that gives $10 to the site.
Jokener you have an email!

Look here for I/O definition. Definitely not on/off.

P.S. Jokener: where on your Mac's do you see the I/O symbol? I cannot see it on any of my 5+ macs!?

Well, you can't use a dictionary for the definition of a symbol.
If you search for 'lightning bolt', it is also not shown as a warning sign for electricity...
So, while you have shown I/O is used for In/Out, you have failed to show this was the first and intended meaning of the 'symbol' I/O.
As to the Apple computers: The power button itself has the symbol on it (quite the obvious location, actually ^^).
But we are really nitpicking here.

Hahahaha.. I like it!
As a golden rule of design that I use for myself: Whenever you're in doubt, ask yourself: What would Apple do?
I kid you not, most of the time you get the exact correct solution with this approach, even when designing race cars, furniture or amp enclosures.

This is with the ~ taken out and the I/O replaced with the apple power button

OKAY so we have this WRONG!
Power symbol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The power symbol means standby? so we should be using the IEC 5010 symbol? Not that I care.

No, the IEC 5009 symbol is correct. You switch off the amps, but not the regulators. Also the batteries (if present) are being kept charged. So the device is not being fully disconnected from the power supply.
