Just about everything on that page is drool-worthy or cool in some extreme
way.  That crytograph does indeed rock and "The Inertial Navigator Platform"
looks like an artifact from The 5th Element.  What's more incredible about
that machine is she didn't rescue it...  she *made* it, along with almost
all that other stuff.  Outrageous!
