I designed to be use PCMCIA NIC's, yes. ;-)

No programming skills. I am afraid too ;-(

Yes, I would pay similar to SNAP ;-)

Yes, SNAP is graphics !
I would not suggest only ONE application for all !?

Correctly and ...

It would be OK if there is more to come and the source are available !!

BTW:
My 2 cents would more go to a group developing these 3 projects

Purchasable indivually or as a suite !?
