Hello!
Im 24 years old from sweden, since i was around 12-15 years old i´ve been intestested in lasers.
It all began one day when i was browsing the internet and stumbled across sam´s laser faq and a site describing various types of lasers such as hene, diode, dye, nitrogen, co2, argon ion and flashlamp pumped solid state such as ruby, Nd:YAG and excimer lasers.
The next day i began tracking down my first laser which was a little red laser pointer given to me by another student at school, it lasted around a week or two.
The years passed until i was around 18-20 when i realized another laser dream, getting a small 1.25mW HeNe tube with power supply on ebay for just 25 bucks, this tube lasted until a few weeks ago when it accidently fell from a table onto the floor and broke the bore.
Then 3 days ago i once again got the idea to look for lasers on ebay, this time it paid off bigtime, not only did i find a small Nd:YAG laser for 125 bucks, but i also scored a Spectra Physics 092-S Argon Ion laser tube for only 150 AUD + shipping.
So all that remains now is to wait for these to arrive.

Most users here are either below 20 or around 40 or older, so it's always nice to see someone your age.
