Bob, Those are exciting plans! I'm intrigued. Do you really think you'll be selling a commercial version of the device within a few months? I'm no expert, but am surprised that you'll be able to go from prototype to a finished product that quickly. Is there any forum where we can keep up with your progress, get some hints about functionality, and possibly even participate in beta testing?
