Just because none of us can afford this doesn't make it foolish.

Same here. But hey, if you're interested, I do have some super old rocks I could glue to an iPad cover and send to you for a few thousand bucks.

Done! But honestly, I only dig those half-sawn open stones with the sparkly purple rock candy lookin stuff inside you can get at the mall with a miniature pewter dragon glued on the inside. I'm down with them old rocks.
