Yeah. I like it. Yeah, it's worth the bucks--and so pretty it was written up in
no less than three design journals last year. It can also turn on your mac from

a remote site via modem with the right support software and comes bundled with
some neato soft. I can also recommend this package on the basis of the company
that offers it. Sophisticated Circuits is, in my opinion, one of the most rep-
utable firms in the biz. There--short and sweet. Now go spend some $$ and have
fun with a good product.
