I agree that it perhaps shouldn't be taken too seriously, but the two together do put an interesting angle on the matter. Thanks, neko.

As for the build time, yvanleterrible, that may not be as long as we'd assume -- I think they use a variant of inkjet printing tech to put this stuff together (I'm pretty sure that's so for e-ink, anyway), so they may not need as elaborate a facility as electronics manufacturers usually need.

I'm just playing with the pieces to see how they fit together, so salt to taste.
