Sure will, in the mean time, I just gotta get enough posts, isn't it 20 needed before being able to post pics and stuff?

Hi Hapkidojoe2000,

When I shipped it yesterday, USPS promised delivery by 3:00pm, let me know if it's not there by then.
You will want to order some high capacity NIMH cells (5500mAhr or greater) as alkaline batteries can't supply that much current (1200mA) for very long without their voltage dropping. I have data on this on the optotronics website here's the link.

Feel free to email me anytime for any questions you may have and I get back to you as soon as I can.

Take care and enjoy your new laser.
ps your laser tested at an average output power of 136mW using freshly charged Accupower 6000 batteries. ( I thought this might reduce your excitement.... NOT)

Yup, got the laser today, thanks Jack. I did not expect to see a post from you in this thread, but glad to see you prowling around. Thanks again.

I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions, just as soon as I get over the shock and awe. This is my first high powered green, so I am just chomping at the bit to see this thing in the dark.

I've also got a number of experiments lined up as well, you know, tunnels, spirographs, and the obligatory victimized balloons, matches, and other dark colored materials that need burning...
