How did you first find out about high-powered Lasers?

I first found out about lasers from a WL ad on the internet. Had a look at their prices and thought "No way I'll ever be able to buy something like that". But then I found LPF after some searching

@Eudaimonium - http://laserpointerforums.com/members/kipkay/ That's him...I'm surprised he is still in the positive...

Bought my first 5mW eBayser, found LPF in May 2007, then got hooked after building a 16X red

Hmm, now that I think about it, it's almost my 3rd LPF birthday.

I've been amazed by lasers since I was too small to know anything more than it was a tiny red flashlight, i was so intriuged in 1999, when I had my first red keychain, it wasn't until two years ago I was on gizmodo.com and saw an article about wicked lasers, I went to their site, saw the prices, and was scared away. I researched more and more, my parents wouldn't let me get a powerful one at first, so I got my 5mW green from radioshack, followed by a 5mW DX violet... Later on (this year), we came to the agreement that I would spend my money on whatever I wanted, seeing as the money was mine, I bought my first high powered laser, my skylasers 150mW pointer, i was amazed, since the beginning my best friend has been there, we joined LPF together and we regularly hang out in the complete darkness just to play with our lasers. I love my story.

Woodofcville is my best friend so I pretty much have the same story. I too was amazed by even low powered lasers. He showed me a 5mW green and blew me away. We then got into high powered lasers and here we are in the dark.
