Hey everyone!
My name is Paul, and I've been lurking this site for a while now. I finally made an account, and since there is a "welcome" board I figured I would go ahead and post my Hello World thread.
I'm still reading through all the stickies and sections here, impressively large/active forum for what I never knew was such a big hobby. (I'm not the only guy who thinks lasers are cool!?)
I've been a bit of a prepper and flashlight fanatic my whole life, and lasers are just cool as heck.
I haven't owned a laser in some years now, as college kinda took the life (time) out of all my old hobbies. So I went ahead and ordered a couple of those ubiquitous Chineseum 301 lasers and some safety McGlarses for the appropriate wavelengths. (Any AvE fans here??)
Got the el cheapos coming in the mail this week just to tide me over before doing a build. I have too many expensive hobbies, but there is always room for more!
I'm sure you'll be hearing back from me with pictures and inevitably questions soon enough. But for now, there's my introduction.
Cheers,
-Paul

I think i'm just about the only one who didn't start with flashlight's.
And make sure you have special fund for this hobby as there is so much stuff to acquire - lasers, optics, batts, various accessories etc. And I like to say - you may never have enough lasers. It is always good to have a nice rainbow collection and coherent monochromatic light (or EM radiation to be more accurate) is something completely different from flashlight light. It opens you a wide world of experiments and uses and you might be limited just by your imagination (and sometimes physics laws).
