:cool:... just why DO we like the light from these things so much? I lifted the following amusing tongue-in-cheek bit (with minor editing) from a thread over at Photon Lexicon:

"Hello.

I'm Bengal and I'm a laserholic.

Ive been without 532nm for 2 days now.

Only the usual symptoms; shakes, vision in other colors, inability to discern straight lines... :eek:

My doctor says he has something to help me... some little green pills he calls Vitamin G.

It helps somewhat, but it doesn't work like the real thing."



That reminds me, it's time for my 532nm maintenance dose... >click<... ahhh, I feel better already ;D

Haha. That put a grin on my face. ;D

I don't know why I like lasers. It's weird.

I first became interested in lasers when I saw high power 100W CO2 laser in action at a museum while my family was on vacation. I was 10 or 11 years ago, and I was only 8 or 9, but I remember that the demostration included getting your name burned into a piece of wood with the CO2 laser. :eek: I still have that peice of wood, it is glued to my bedroom door! :p I only got my first laser 5 years ago, a 1mw red. ::) Since then, wow, I have bought and sold many a laser. ;D No signs of stopping either. ;)
