Well, my one year anniversary on lpf draws near, and I'll probably forget on the actual day to say anything, so I figured I'd do this now. With the recent advent of $50 445nm 5.6mm diodes, it seems the future is indeed knocking at our door. While I may not have been around for the first few bursts of ruby light, I was around for the blu-ray era, and it's been quite a trip. Lasers have advanced a hundred fold in such a short period of time, it's astounding. I can only say thank you to Avery for allowing this forum to be here, and through that, the wonders of home built lasers and technology that we've all discovered through it, and to companies like CNI and Viasho for bringing portable lasers like none other to this hobby. I can only wait with baited breath for the advancements of the coming years, like green diodes, (come on Nichia, get off yer lazy bums and get to work :na as technology leaps ever forward. I also would like to thank everyone here at lpf for sharing their wealth of knowledge and I hope to be here for many, many years to come. :beer:
