Wow. So much for having a fun poll or a sense of humor. I've never seen so many stick in the mud attitudes in my life.
This was done in Jest and if no one here can see that quite clearly then you really should get out more.
If all this forum is about is stone cold science and has no room for...
It was done tongue in cheek Jerry.
A little humor never hurt anyone.
I got the idea in the Kenometer thread but this poll is just for fun to see who uses what OS. It is in no way ment to be used as any deciding factor in the design of Kenoms product.

You know Jerry if I had an extra Mac laying around I would love 2 :)
Poll link has been added btw. :D
I used to program in VB 5 several years ago. Not for work just as a hobby and to help out the course instructors with a database where I was at school. Always liked it but it was mainly for...
Good idea Dave. Poll made. http://laserpointerforums.com/f58/what-type-computer-geek-you-46038.html
@mfo,
In those last 10 years how many Macs have you "Had" to fix?
The only compatibility issues that Mac's have is people not writing software for them and that has shrank to almost nothing...
Mac, Windows, Linux.
I'm curious to see what my fellow forum members are running.
Please no flame wars about what is better for what. We all have our own reasons for what we use and prefer.

I've burned the hell out of things with it and did a lot of night pointing and so far so good.
I would say if you keep to the duty cycle it should last quite a while.
My guess is that these are lasers that were meant to be higher power models that when cranked up had a tendency to mode hop...
I will have to 2nd that Mac Compatibility comment. I can build PC's from spare parts but I switched to Mac over 4yrs ago and have no interest in Windows other than on bootcamp for games.
I'd be curious to see a poll of who here is Mac,Windows,Linux.

I think the USB option makes the most sense.
You can add as many features to it as you wish and as you improve the software the only upgrade would be a download.
If you came up with major software and GUI upgrades (I'm sure you will get bombed with request and ideas) later you could sell the...
I was'nt worried about being pushed off.
1. I was holding on to the roof rack for dear life and,
2. The young lady I was with got off on doing it in strange places. It was her idea.
One of many :)

Do these use the same kind of transformer as regular Neon lighting? I just won one on the raffle from Dave and I'm trying to read up about them so I can get it up and running.
I have a friend that used to do Neon lighting and if its the same then yes that transformer can nock you on your a$$...
How many of us played with a flashlight as a kid. I remember running around the house in the dark and thinking how cool it was that this thing in my hand could cut through all that darkness.
This is just an extension of our childhood. We all LOVE our toys :)
Add to that this simple question...
Guys lets not turn this great event into something heated.
This was done to help the forum. Everyone knew going into this that your money was a donation to keep this little corner of the interwebs up and running for the good of all our members.
It was not suppose to be about buying so many...
