    Wow.. I have never seen anything quite like that. Very cool. Definitely dangerous, but very cool.

    When you get one, let us know how well it works. (maybe a video or two.) /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/tongue.gif

    yeah did you see that picture of the guy's retina that got burned because the laser fell off the table and got him in the eye? I'll wait for these guys to develop a device that is a lot safer to use for the everyday person. The fact that you should "treat it like a handgun" and put it in a lockable box is enough to make the significant other go "ahhhh, No."

    Haha.  Why not just buy a handgun and start using that to kill the aptasia?? I don't think the laser would kill the pests if it wasn't strong enough to burn our little retinas...  No getting around that.
