wow... ok that is something I really could do with.. attach a usb microscope to the end... agh... that will be very cool to have, and what looks like a fairly easy add on

smd circuitry and smd solder also?? honestly, trying to solder an smd chip or resistance is a pain on the ass, i stop working with smd for that simple reason WAY too much work.
