    Where can I buy the most powerful handheld blue laser?

    If you were getting a new greenie what would be your first experiment?

    While waiting for a box to ship to my doorstep - it occured to me that I have no idea of what to do first with my spanking new Herc 475 - any suggestions? What would you try first? I know not to take it to work to do powerpoint presentations.

    Will I be amazed?

    I never gave much thought to lasers until recently. I got a "close to 50mW, honest" greenie off Amazon for about 25 bucks on a whim last week and have been impressed.
