I bought the ER1 when I was in Taiwan in 2002 and it cost me just over USD $1000.00 with shipping. The acer notebook cost about USD $800.00 in Taiwan. I have rebuilt it about 3 times , but this time I built it with the notebook at a higher level so I can sit in a chair and use it instead of lying on the floor :). I have Zabaware Ultrahal conversation software on it and 3 sharp sensors which I still need to connect. I only get time during the vacations to work on it so it s a very long and ongoing project. I am learning C# so maybe someday I can write my own API program for it. At the moment I am using the installed behavior programs to run it. Kevin
