It's probably the quicktime videos. Dammit I hate quicktime.

Steep price for a chunk of aluminum, acrylic, or (gulp) brass...I'll just make my own. How hard could it be?:)

I'd guess it's pretty difficult.

Amazing little critter, that. Some of the work required hurts my brain; I've been sharing it around! +rep for the find.

EDIT: Or not. Or not +rep. Ah well.
