The cheapest place I've found to buy it is Datavision
(http://www.datavis.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ExecMacro/proddisp.d2w/report?prrfnbr=464060&site=GOGL)
for $170. If it'll help development I'll gladly chip in $90 towards a
donation to buy this device. Let me know how you'd like me to donate
(Paypal would probably be the easiest way).
