My real heart's desire is, ironically, a hardware/software

Far too costly - it will cost you and 'ARM' and a leg. ;-)

Ah that reminds me of a group of people standing around a QLer in
Eindhoven showing off his digital camera, in the very early days of
these. I said "That must have cost you an arm and a leg" - innocently
I assure you.
He had physical problems and very little use of his arms and hands.
Fortunately he spoke little English and did not understand, but he
must have thought I made a good joke, from the laughter around (8-)#

Actually he was missing a hand and part of the arm.
