 i'll be using the first 10 to create videos and documentation.  the
prototype i have here is pretty sturdy, not least because it's very
light (1.1kg), but also because i went to a lot of trouble to design
shapes with internal structural support.  one piece 160mm long, it
actually got to be dangerous to try to bend / snap it, i was applying
so much force i was concerned that shards might fly off.  applying a
*lot* of pressure - enough to make marks on my fingers - only bent it
about 2-3mm out of shape.
