the next step is to get a grip on reality. the capabilities they are

describing do not cost "tens of thousands of dollars". they cost on the

order of US$300-1500. i don't doubt that there are improvements that

could be made to existing h/w and f/w, but its not orders of magnitude

measured in either cost or functionality.
