Excellent point. (I got a good laugh from this). I suspect the reason these
things don't yet look like Fisher-Price toys is the market isn't big enough.
But give it time. Look at RC model aircraft. When I was a kid you had to
build your own planes. It was a hobby. Now they're built by Chinese slave
labor. Now you just buy-em and fly-em. Now they're toys. Desktop CNC is
still a hobby.
