But that wouldn't be anywhere near as fun :) It doesn't accomplish the end goal of having a product, which I think there would be a market for, either. The cost is a bit more than $100, though, too - WET11's seem to go for about $70, and the PAP2T for $50... but that is still significantly less than what I am talking about.
