Greetings Jerome, Thanks for the link to LadyAda -- I enjoy her projects but somehow I missed that one. Again it is a bit smaller than I need, but yes that is very useful since the licensing is compatible with what I was looking for.
It is hard to say about the cost, without looking at the specifics. Perhaps $5 is too low, but $10 seems too high. Surely they are making a profit at $15?
