  mhhrrmmm... it's a good point, bari - one thing i hadn't planned
ahead for (or, voiced yet) was: what about when this takes off, what
then?  theoretically there should be enough $ to create a standard.
that's if it's desirable to do so.  i kinda like the "re-use" concept,
as even in mass-volume it'd keep the pricing down.
