Hello everyone!
Yesterday morning I stumbled across LPF while searching for LD's and drivers, and well I finally put my laptop down around 1am after being online for 16 hours. I gotta say that this is one of the best forums I've seen and couldn't stop reading about everything that is found here.
so alittle about myself... by day I mess with networks, on my own time I have alot of varied interests, anything computer related, anything beer related (brewing beer and drinking beer), golf and other pub games to name a few. I'm interested in anything tech related.
I have always been fascinated by lasers, but didn't own my first until diodes where more commonly found. I think I paid $50 for my first, and that got me a less powered LD pointer then the ones you buy at walmart for $4 lol. I have only owned a few low wattage reds, both cheapies that have been lost, a cheap "laser show" module (spider something), and played with a few HeNe tubes.
I just finished making a HTPC, so I decided to start playing with lasers again and was looking around for some parts when I found LPF.com. I plan on getting in on some group buys if that's alright and working up to my long term goal of building a laser show.
so... sorry for such a long winded post, and looking forward to working with all of you
