Yeah, it's a shame that they went bankrupt thanks to an attempted American Adventure that went awry thanks to delayed FDA approval.. Would've really liked it if they'd become more widely used, and if there had been more people developing new software for it. (I bought my DR1000 a bit after the company went belly-up, though, for €250.)

Great for academic research.
Yup; and that is indeed my main reason for using it.
