Not to mention the periodic updates required as more features and bug 
fixes are introduced.

Could get really expensive and the risk of losing/damaging the DE-1 in 
the post wouldn't warrant it.

Programming is done in a matter of seconds once a DE-1 has been linked 
to a PC/Mac.

Let's concentrate on someone actually creating the code in the first 
place (or finishing the current CoCo3FPGA project).
