[edit] Purple lasers
dont see what a $200,000 purple DPSSS laser has to do with laser POINTERS , article should relate only to items available as a laser POINTER ???
[edit] Cleanup, remove stub tag
I have cleaned up the article somewhat, and removed the {{tech-stub}} tag. It is not yet perfect, but it looks somewhat like a Wikipedia article now. --Slashme 10:45, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Added USA federal act info
I have added details of recent federal USA law , article looking a lot tidier slashme , i would like to see the details back about the inventor of blue lasers , the articles a hoot ! about how he was a failed inventor and discovered blue laser light by accident . Also would like to see details back about the FUTURE of blue lasers as it will become the standard in future taking over from red due to mass production .......but i guess yuo must have had reason for removing those pieces i entered in previous article Visitor not registered - 10.12.05 - paul bluesky
- Hi Paul. The reason I removed that copy was because it didn't really fit in the laser -pointer- article. Maybe you could put it in the laser diode article instead. I'll watch that page too, see what you come up with! :] --Slashme 08:18, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Pet's mental heatlh
Hi, we have a question. What do you think about the mental health of the dog hunting the laser spur. Should we be worried be cause the dog acts like crazy.
- Dunno whether you're serious, but I'll answer as if you are: If the dog's having fun chasing it, great. If it looks like that infuriating red spot is freaking the poor sucker out too much, give him a break. Remember, your dog doesn't have to make a living, so if he's a nutter, who cares? :-) --Slashme 17:21, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Added places to find high-powered green lasers
I added some places to find high-powered green lasers and a picture that I took of my laser from Wicked Lasers. If anyone else has places to find green lasers be sure to add them to the section.
Thanks.

Cyberguys.com at 800-892-1010 or www.cyberguys.com have a AAA powered green, penlight laser for about $130.
Red lasers and some green penlight lasers are on sale at most large office-supply stores like Staples, Office Depot, and Office Max.
Many sites on the Internet have lasers for sale but realize that battery power sorts the good from the bad units. You should avoid using watch batteries for power supply and many cheaper models select this limitation. Users get better performance out of AA or AAA power cells.
[edit] Edit a link
One of the Wicked Lasers users had entered his referral code into the link to the Wicked Lasers site, which allows the user to gain points towards a future purchase whenever someone purchased a laser after clicking the link. This is abuse of the Wicked Bucks system due to the fact that the Wikipedia is public domain and someone should not benefit from the wikipedia in this way.
All i did was restore the actuall URL to the Wiked Lasers site ---Matt
[edit] Promotions?
Just curious, are you allowed to have promotions and company ads in an article? Doesn't sound right to me.
[edit] Removed promotions
Removed the price-list of Wicked Lasers, Wikipedia is not for promoting individual companies and posting their price lists.
[edit] External links
Why are some external links (high powered) allowed and not others?
[edit] FDA
"Lasers with outputs over 5 mW need to be registered with the FDA in the USA."
Could this be the FCC? --149.217.1.6 13:46, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
no - http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?FR=1040.10
It's the FDA
