I know this may sound like nitpicking, but as I college student, if I can put in the extra time myself and save a few bucks...it's worth all the development time. I am just interested in finding out how others may have gone about designing and writing software for this project. I thank you for your offer, but unfortunately, it won't work for me. Any other ideas, anyone?
