    Do you have $20,000 or $40,000 just laying around? Already own like 12 cars, 3 homes and a lake house? Are you trying to figure out what to do with all that extra cash? Have you ever wanted your own personal Planetarium? Well, now you can with Digitarium[^] Don't lie. You know you want one. I know I want one.

        I am sure there are some school districts etc. in, say, Newport Beach which I suspect actually have spare cash lying around and could use something like that lol *Don't be fooled, I AM a real astronomer [:)]*

          $20,000 - 40,000? Looks like a $500 PC, $2,000 projector and a $9.99 remote (batteries included). Not a bad mark-up. It really would be cool. But for my 8ft tall ceiling (no access to a dome), spending $2,509.99 would probably work just as well!

            Let me look down the back of the settee. Any spare cash? Hold on... hold on... nope not there. Ah got it - now, how about the rest? 12 cars - check. 3 homes - check. Lake house - does a kennel beside a puddle count?

                      If I had that kind of money laying around, I'd drop it on this[^] instead... Why get a planetarium when you can look at the real thing?
