You're close. I don't do projects under $5K.

I know one German (mechanical/pneumatics) engineer who sits on a beach in Rio all his life and doesn't move off it for under $10k.

So I suppose in comparason I'm cheap...

As for the Dental Timer, my Dentist already has an integral timer on his curing light... so Dr.Ragh has probably bought the budget model. Most impressed last week when I had one of those orbital X-Rays done - where the whole X-Ray device spins around your head and a few moments later a panoramic image appears on the LCD next to your seat... very sexy (Dentist wasn't bad either!).
