[rescue] geeky toys

[Dave McGuire]

  Ahh...mine is most certainly *not* portable.  Aside from being water
cooled, it pulls a constant 18A at 220V.  It has a Q-switch, which
makes things even more fun.  I wish I had more free time.

  It will turn one soda can into two halves when tossed through the
beam, though. :)
