I keep hearing this, but I dont see them. People keep saying their units have gotten better in the past year, but I don't see the evidence - its just like some odd high school rumor. I see people saying they were satisfied, but where are the power tests to prove they aren't pulling the same BS...

Spymode is the original scammer for unfiltered underpower lasers. Their 150mW units put out 20mW on a good day. Its just total BS.

What a jacka**. I always did have a bad feeling about that character. Thanks for the heads up Tallaxo! Next time I'm looking to be ripped off, I'll be sure to avoid him.

I hate to skew this informative post towards a point of my own, but I feel this is a truth we all know in the back of our minds yet so often overlook in our actions: Remember, DX are scammers. They knowingly commit fraud and they don't care - they just keep doing it. However, DX (sometimes) has...

the rebuttal: Wrong click

Macs can get both viruses and games, settle down you two :P

Very nice stuff! The optics set/grab bags from optotronics and surplusshed are absolutely amazing. I still routinely use the optics I got in those sets over a year ago on a regular basis for everything from simple hobbyist playing around, to serious work.

Just a typical DIY style blu-ray unit being advertised for a specific use. I don't quite get what is so unbelivable about it, although "AN INDUSTRIAL LASER MODULE DESIGNED FOR TACK CURING GLUES" is definitely a bit of a stretch. These eBay surplus-style sellers are all about taking a truth and...

Its both, hehe. Technically I bought it under the name "RPL" a loong time ago, however the RPL and Prometheus lasers are one in the same other than the name you call it by. Point is it honestly doesn't matter. Jack and I even use very similar testing methods and test equipment so for all extents...

I'm predicting a catastrophic lightning strike resulting in the violent liberation of previously captive argon. I'm just pessimistic like that

Yeah, if you read the site its pretty simple - not something fancy like a supercontinuum laser. Its not a white laser at all, its just a white light POWERED by a laser diode. Same as when you shine a green laser at some things you can get yellow or red light from fluorescence, but its not a...

Yeah, I guess my post wasn't quite the best thought out since I can switch my comp to vista or XP whenever I feel like without paying a cent  :). When money comes into it though, I guess paying for XP could be a dumb option since there's a decent chance you'll someday come across software...

Update from the original post:

Sorry erdabyz but as much as I'd like to help out, I simply don't have the time to provide the media I wish I could. Not only is my video camera in for repair right now, but when I go to take pictures and vids of what I do I go all-out to try to make sure its done right - a process that can...

xp! I'm an aesthetically challenged cheapo who likes him his RAM (I mean c'mon, Office 07 looks 'prettier', but I downgraded to 03 once I realized it'd take me an eon to learn how to do anything in it). Guess it depends on your tastes and what you're looking to get out of your comp though.

Just a forewarning amkdeath - I respond to your comments, so if you are gunna post again on this thread, you had better well respond to mine: amk, its not fair to say other people are close minded to your ideas and then stay close minded to theirs. Sure you can throw a slew of very minor...

Blasphemy! Its awesome BECAUSE it has that 1mW red in it. Stick a high power diode in there and you'll just have another damn DIY red laser.

lol! You'd better listen to the plant Greg! I once saw a guy in a play who didn't... and well... you don't wanna know  ;) Gotta take advantage of it when you actually 'get' these obscure references eh?

Now THAT is awesome! lol. I'd keep it as is - that's just amazing. I wonder if it was just made that way as a joke, or if (as I'm guessing is more likely) it was back from when red diode lasers were first coming out, and to be taken seriously as a laser product for serious scientific/classroom...

Well this probably sounds extremely rude out of context, so you should refer to the post "WL goggles" (in which there are many unsubstantiated attacks towards WL's lasershades) at http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1213721006/48 for the background. I originally made this post...
