How to make (almost) anything

How to make (almost) anything was a terrific class, simply because you got to have a crack at these expensive tools. I have to say though, that the class is not for everyone. I don't know if people in 3rd world countries really want to make solutions to their problems-- they would probably rather have solutions given to them (with some of their input), because they've got enough to worry about. It's like the idea of the human hyperlink. Why don't YOU, the designer/engineer, do what you can, and we, the consumer will do what we can. I am not sure if everyone wants to be an inventor... Still replicators are very Stephenson-esque, sci-fi-fantasy-esque.
