Hey Mr B -
(..said in best William-Shatner voice: ..Relax, Maaan!....it's...just a HeNe!.. I mean, it's not like I'm sending you a *Pony* or anything.. Sorry, corny joke, nothing to do with you... Seriously, glad I could 'make yer Sunday'...
Oh yes you do... see, these are the kind of 'rewards' that one can realize when, oh, just say for example, one gets good / helpful advice, etc, etc.. and then does NOT-go and start 'shooting 40 Watts of green around ones' backyard' filled with innocent / unawares partygoers, etc, etc - as a first-project... Again, dumb joke, nothing to do with you... Suffice to-say, it's an 'entertaining back-story', for another-time...
Hey, dude, I'm just-glad to not have to *argue* with you, as-to why it might 'not-be such a good-idea' to go making your very-first pet-project trying to 'outline outdoor-buildings on your campus' with a multi-Watt Chijector.. < insert record-scratch snd-fx > Very-good to see you choosing to 'take the high-road', and learning to 'walk'- before you jump into the Top-Fueler..
Anyhoo, be-sure and note the 'HeNe safety-reminders' sheet, found in the box, when ya get it.. and.. it's about *high-voltage* / Alden-connectors, and such.. not so-much about 'not pointing the thing straight in yer cat's eyes', etc.. Not too-worried about that... Well, I think I've just-about used-up my allotment of smileys for the nite, already so, will let ya know when yer little 'box-o-photons' sails, and will be in touch, I am sure, later-on..
cheers..
