Chris,

I've fantasized about it, too, and I've brought it to new comic 
heights: "Okay, if it can't be done electronically, what can be done 
mechanically?" That's when all these Rube Goldberg-like contraptions 
start filling my head. I came up with one idea that had a pulley 
system attached to my arm and, at the other end, to a stick that 
would hit the main piezo whenever I hit the remotely activated 
switch. Funny, neither OGD nor Stewart, who were discussing 
electronic experimentation at the time, seemed to think much of my 
suggestion.
