DON"T EVER SHUT UP......... Sure $200 is a stretch right now but $2k is
not. Expect to see one before long since I know several people who are
working to achieve this dream. Get your CAD system going and before long
you can build your own items as you wish. I would not expect to see tough
materials to start but once a home system is in the marketplace expect to
see material suppliers take notice.

Keep the faith! and let them laugh.........I have heard it all before.
