Already happened to me! Bought a 52" LG Plasma TV. When I got it home, forgot to do the research and was surprised to find no analog audio output! I had always wanted a DVR so decided to kill two birds with one stone: Hooking up my old 1980s stereo was as easy as looking on amazon.com and buying this box with old school cable in and hdmi and audio rca jacks out. http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-DR570-Recorder-Built-Tuner/dp/tech-data/B001TOD3KK/ref=de_a_smtd

graphical ftp is included in windows and mac. graphical sftp is included by default in most linux distros. since it is "so hard" to download filezilla for windows and mac, that could be the final hurdle? why don't they just include a standard graphical sftp client in windows and mac?

They could combine this with: http://www.cyberware.com/products/software/fileFormats/iges124.html to create some more useful file outputs than .ply

my favorites in this realm is pro-engineer by PTC for your actual blueprints
and mathcad by PTC for calculating your design... It is the best in my opinion for
handling units and including OLE objects of all your other design inspirations.

For every patent we file at our company, we get a nice brass and wood plaque. We also get to keep working here and during this economy is a pretty sweet deal.
