After watching "Dumb Ways to Blind", I had to join this forum. Hilarious! Been lurking for a bit. Like many others, a certain discount laser site lead me here. I figured, if I would pay that much money, I needed to know more.
Very glad to have found this forum. It's saved me hundreds of dollars already as I was about to buy a shiny new overpriced laser. Thanks for all the accumulated knowledge. I'm still shopping, but arming myself with as much of this forum's wisdom as I can first.
Grew up with a passion for lasers/masers when I lived near Bell Labs in NJ for a couple of years in the mid 70's. Star Trek phasers and Star Wars sabres only fueled that flame. Bought my first laser in '88: a 2.5mW red HeNe (I think it's HeNe but might be wrong) from a 'Science' catalog for $300. What fun! Still have it but it doesn't work.
This forum has saved me from doing any of the fun/stupid things I did with that laser in my youth. I don't have much to post while I'm working my way through as many posts as I can. Just thought I'd check in after reading all the newbie posts and stickies.
Thanks!
