This term in my school we're doing light and whatever, and I was pleasantly delighted to hear we would be dealing with lasers next week.
Upon hearing this news, I asked my teacher what types of lasers the school actually had. Turns out they have several high powered portable greenies, and are getting more for astronomy year next year. It also turns out they have a "blue" laser, which I replied, "blue as in an argon?" The teacher kind of looked surprised I knew this and said yes. I promptly asked if we would get to use it, but was told no, as it was in some sort of kit. Also, they have some He-Ne's.
I told her about my 2 lasers, and subtly asked if the school would import me a new one.
Not so much luck there...
