interested.

several thoughts spring to mind:
- I hope you aren't solely relying on this group for market
research. lol
- make sure the machine is easily modifiable to add other gizmos. A
resist pen/applicator springs to mind - I'm sure there are litterally
hundreds of devices that makes sense.
- at a $500 price point and application flexibility, this could find
use in a variety of niche areas.
- figure out how to sneak under the corporate Purchase Order "radar"
and you can get it into all sorts of development shops. like break
it into a couple of easily assembled pieces. then individual
engineers can order each piece with out corporate approval.
