Of course you could always sell the b&w cart for $16 and a color label for
$1-2 extra if desired.

This could be harder for the end user though -- then WE have to worry about
whether we can get color printing, and whether they'll let us print onto
labels.  If you or Randy or whoever can find a source to do the labels for
a decent price, then there's no reason to use that source for everyone.

No, that means we have to order EVERY CART to have a complete collection of
