Agreed! ANd I know a lot of us like nifty toys (nifty tools fit that 
category nicely) but these things cost serious bucks. An aquaintance of 
mine recently outfitted his auto shop with a full machine shop including 
all the high tech toys - cost right around 1 million bucks. Great if 
you're going to be around and do work long enough to recover your 
investment - or if you can simply afford all the toys :-)
