acceptable GTA04 price poll results:

up to 300 euro - 22%
up to 400 euro - 48%
up to 500 euro - 15%
up to 600 euro - 15%

Total votes: 27

It would be nice to find a sponsor (fosdem2013 conference), which will 
be able to to compensate GTA04 price difference with the desired ~400 
euros (for whom 13 voted)..!?
