Eng. Lines: 10 Approved: Boola, boola! Nntp-Posting-Host: fuji.eng.yale.edu I have a dead CD player with a 780nm laser diode. Does anyone have any fun ideas of what I could do with this thing. Too bad it's not visible, then I could just hook it it up and use it at a fancy toy. Ob. Hack: Using HP 400D Vacuum Tube Voltmeters are bookends. They make a unique fashion statement and are heavy enough so that the books don't push them aside. Jim Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
