You figure with this kind of time invested in my hobby-within-a-hobby I'm just gonna up and quit? I don't think it's a psychosis so much as it is a twisted sense of entertainment. Plus I've always made a far better friend than otherwise ;). I tried to tell you guys.. but you just wouldn't listen.

No doubt you're right about that Bennett. I can think of several really top-notch guys over there. But I can also clearly remember many of the members over there jumping into discussions that were not theirs to kick me when I was down. Because of their actions while blindly following their...

Dude I'm not here to debate. I never had a single issue with Swami either, but PL as a whole had it's chance to do right by me, and now I live to preach endlessly about my experiences there and my opinions thereof for as long as I have breath in my lungs. That's all that matters to me when it...

You're right I have no love for some of the people on PL.. but you're wrong if you think I have ever thought or alluded to the idea that PL is not a useful resource. But so is LPF... better actually in nearly every regard. Not to get into my issues with PL too deeply, but very often in order...

You might want to read my post again bennett. Let me quote myself: Note the plural underlined above. Now, I gave you a neg rep. I wouldn't lose sleep over it if I were you.. it's just not that important. You've still got 100 points left. I'd only worry if/when you hit the red.

So, still, instead of trying to offer some help here you decide you're better off having a hissy fit? I see I've got you pegged pretty good.. How hard is it to say something like: "Try having a look at the stickies here in the laser show section" or "Have a look at these threads...

Lol.. that's just how it is over there. Gobs and gobs of thoroughly undeserved superiority complexes, and all neatly arranged in the classic "old-boys-club" hierarchy. If you don't talk their talk, then you AIN'T gonna walk their walk.. but yet, they'd have the rest of the community believe that...

@tsteele: I admire your persistence and your logic in your posts on PL ;).. But here's why all the solid, sensible logic in the world will fail: First off, let me say that I believe in laser safety, and high-powered lasers are dangerous. There is a difference, however, in the level of danger...

Well man, you ought to be proud of yourself, that thing looks peach. My friend and I ended up making a bunch of oversized bounce mirrors using some surplus Kodak first-surface mirrors, ~7.5"x6.5"x.25" plate glass. I found that long throws like in an arena or large warehouse require a large...

That ain't bad for 40ft.. given that you do graphics I'd imagine that's quite a good arrangement. I'm almost never on the graphics wavelength as graphics shows comprise maybe 1% of the shows I do.. for beams I use the 450nm diodes straight up, with 3-element lenses, no correction. 2W+ of blue...

That is a stunning looking optical deck, but I'm curious as to why all the losses from the mirrors in the blue laser? Seems like an overly complex optical path IMO. All I see are 2 diodes, it's much more simple and offers less loss to simply combine the diodes directly by positioning them at...

You should have a look at this thread: http://laserpointerforums.com/f47/new-scanners-32674.html It should give you an idea of what this item is and how it is used.

Likewise! I'll let you have first crack at it then.. if you guys can't come to an arrangement then I'll have a go.

PM sent!

Price reduction: I'll do the DDR2 and the FX for $30 each shipped. DDR2 is getting harder to find at low prices, and the FX-62 is a very nice processor. They'd make the basis of a nice NAS server or some other type of secondary system.

Updated with pic!

lol.. well, my thread just popped up about an hour or so ago. Thanks for the replies anyway though guys!

Anyone know how long it takes for sales threads to be approved by mods? I posted one yesterday, but it still hasn't appeared. I know that, as frustrating as it is for me, the mods occasionally have other things to do than make sure that everything I need is taken care of so they might be...

Re: Sell/Trade 1KW Vac Tube. Apologies, I realized it mey have seemed like I was talking down on this sale, but that's not the case. The tube is probably in good shape, and might live for a long time yet. A little brown glass only means that it has some run time on it, that's all.
