| 657612 | 2008-04-10 10:54:00 | Wow Cicero, this sounds like it is a really fast laser printer! I will be interested to see how they manage to have puffs of gas in a vacuum chamber. Clever stuff this anti-matter. (BTW, if anybody is thinking of getting one of these, I am going to be a staunch NIMBY.) |

| 657614 | 2008-04-10 11:42:00 | Sounds good, and you won't even need paper, this laser'll print on rocks. As to it's parentage, sorry - I dunno ;) |

| 657615 | 2008-04-10 11:48:00 | Ah yes, 1 petwatt of power... sweet It doesn't need that much power because it only flashes for one trillionth of a second or thereabouts. Total electricity usage = not much. |

You just can't get the staff these days!:groan: R2x1: You're right. It seems that it would print on stone. Amazing! Sounds like the sort of thing that God might have used on the tablets of stone he handed to Moses on Mt Sinai. |

(Infidelity was frowned on in those days.) beeswax34: You're right ! Would you care to take charge of knocking the laptop USB powered version into shape ? (Before lunch, so take as long as you like ;) ) Cicero : Now look what you started :o |
