Let me ask you a simple question: Suppose someone buys an SP-600,
mounts some chrome knobs, spray-paints his name on the front panel,
then posts on the newsgroup saying, "Hey, look what I built!" Would you
call that "homebrew"?

I honestly don't share that compulsion to classify other people's
projects as either "homebrew" or not.
