There's no reason, but AFAICT nobody did it that way before. That means you'd have to invest a good number of hours to create the software to drive it. Don't know about your rate, but for me, spending USD 50 wouldn't account for more than say 5 hours even in my spare-time. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
