I haven't been able to articulate anything witty, but I'll go ahead and just say: Ethan I don't know what you do with those BF-lasers, but it sounds damn awesome, anyway. Your stock just went up. It's hard to make lasers anything but sci-fi radical coolness.
Light show hobby. Inspired by the Def Leppard music video "Pour some sugar on me."
Everything is from China and solid state now. There is a laser "con/fest" of sorts and a small bit of vintage computing cross-over. Like any technology I suppose it grew up along side of personal computing. Early animation/graphics systems probably existed (low quantity) on S100 systems then moved to things like the Commodore Amiga (Pangolin) and then IBM PC (but using coprocessor cards and stuff.)
SELEM event in NC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S75y8-StKE There are more videos on youtube but I just grabbed one I know. Just another geekfest, and that's just one of a number of rooms. -- Ethan O'Toole
