Aaah! The name sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it (and Googling for 
"Wizard" is far from useful).
Sounds neat!! The Netway web page lists them as costing $200 now tho - 
although if you order 10 they're $150. Not sure what I'd do with so many (and 
doesn't help with the "budget" slant).

You said the sound on it isn't too good though?
